Energy storage in the energy transition and blue economy
Effective storage is vital for balancing intermittent renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and marine energy with the power grid. The development of battery technologies, hydrogen
As carbon neutrality and cleaner energy transitions advance globally, more of the future's electricity will come from renewable energy sources. The higher the proportion of renewable energy sources, the more prominent the role of energy storage. A 100% PV power supply system is analysed as an example.
Various application domains are considered. Energy storage is one of the hot points of research in electrical power engineering as it is essential in power systems. It can improve power system stability, shorten energy generation environmental influence, enhance system efficiency, and also raise renewable energy source penetrations.
Although energy storage technologies still face certain challenges in terms of cost, efficiency, and large-scale application, with ongoing research and development and increased policy support, the future development prospects of energy storage technologies are vast.
In future developments, innovations in energy storage technologies will further enhance their role in the energy transition. For instance, improving the energy density of battery containers is an important direction in the development of current battery technologies.
