Kelly Loukatou, one of the ESO’s energy insight leads, considers the role energy storage plays in the current energy landscape and how this is likely to develop. Energy systems need to continuously match supply and demand to ensure that electricity is delivered securely to UK houses and businesses.
As we head towards a net zero system, electricity storage will play a vital role in helping manage supply and demand. There are various electricity storage technologies with different technical and commercial characteristics that can serve this purpose, with a wide range of outcomes for their future deployment.
Currently in the UK, there is 1.6 GW of operational battery storage capacity mostly with 1-hour discharge duration, i.e. 1:1 ratio of energy to power, GWh to GW. The maximum installed volume of PHS is 25.8 GWh with 2.74 GW of capacity, a much higher ratio. In recent years, there has been a surge in the pipeline of battery energy storage projects.
Results suggest that the UK could need a storage capacity of approximately 43 TWh to decarbonize its electricity supply. This figure considers a generation mix of 84% wind +16% solar PV, a roundtrip storage efficiency of 70%, and 15% of curtailment.
The interconnection will also allow the UK to access some pumped hydro storage capacity (available in the Alps and Scandinavia), which is a very cheap form of energy storage.
This paper focuses on energy storage, which helps to correct the time-mismatch between energy generation and demand by storing excess energy produced when renewables are active for using it when the renewable resources are not available. Energy storage is regarded as an enabler for the further integration of renewables to the grid .
