Learn more. The rapid evolution of renewable energy sources and the increasing demand for sustainable power systems have necessitated the development of efficient and reliable large-scale energy storage technologies.
This special issue is dedicated to the latest research and developments in the field of large-scale energy storage, focusing on innovative technologies, performance optimisation, safety enhancements, and predictive maintenance strategies that are crucial for the advancement of power systems.
Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, are technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed.
As the backbone of modern power grids, energy storage systems (ESS) play a pivotal role in managing intermittent energy supply, enhancing grid stability, and supporting the integration of renewable energy.
Great Britain’s demand for electricity could be met largely (or even wholly) by wind and solar energy supported by large-scale storage at a cost that compares favourably with the costs of low-carbon alternatives, which are not well suited to complementing intermittent wind and solar energy and variable demand.
