In contrast to earlier studies that focus on the benefits of energy storage for system operation and development, this work analyses the value that it may deliver to the owner.
In this guide, our expert energy storage system specialists will take you through all you need to know on the subject of BESS; including our definition, the type
In the UK, it has been projected that energy storage could help reduce total energy system costs by between £2 billion and £7 billion by 2030 by assisting the integration of lower cost renewable technologies and improving utilisation of other network assets (Carbon Trust & Imperial College, 2016 ).
Energy storage systems can supply additional power during these peak times, alleviating stress on the grid and reducing the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades. Enhancing Grid Reliability- Energy storage systems contribute to grid reliability by providing backup power during blackouts or grid failures.
If the UK establishes a strong domestic energy storage industry, it can export storage capacity and technologies. Storage would reduce the UK’s dependence on costly, polluting and uncertain fossil fuel imports.
Accelerating renewables is key to boosting our energy resilience. Energy storage helps us get the full benefit of these renewables, improving efficiency and helping drive down costs in the long term.
The Government, supported by modelling from the Future System Operator, should clarify its definitions for medium- and long-duration energy storage and the roles they are expected to play. It should set or endorse a series of metrics that allow technologies to be compared according to the energy system services that they provide.
However, new energy storage technologies can store excess energy to be used at a later point, so the energy can be used rather than wasted – meaning we can rely even more on renewable generation rather than fossil fuels, helping boost the UK’s long-term energy resilience.
