Reviewing the status of three utility-scale energy storage options: pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), compressed air energy storage, and hydrogen storage. Conducting a techno-economic case study on utilising PHES facilities to supply peak demand in Oman.
Electricity market structure in Oman Unlike the electrical energy sources used in traditional power plants, renewable energy sources are not dispatchable and will vary over time; as a result, the energy feed in the network will be intermittent.
In 2015, Oman committed to an unconditional 2% emissions cut by 2030 at the United Nations Climate Change Conference. This target is to be achieved through reduction in gas flaring and increase in the utilisation of renewable energy (Carbon Brief 2016 ). The third challenge of the power sector in Oman is supply mix.
Conducting a techno-economic case study on utilising PHES facilities to supply peak demand in Oman. This manuscript proceeds by reviewing the status of utility-scale energy storage options in Section 2. Section 3 presents the status and main challenges of Oman’s MIS.
Analogous to the transmission and distribution systems that transmit electrical energy over space to end-users, electrical storage systems can transfer energy through time, storing energy at an opportune time and later discharging it when needed.
Compressed air storage, flywheel storage, and pumped-water storage are examples of mechanical storage systems. Examples of electromagnetic storage systems are ultra-capacitors (supercapacitors) and Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES). Figure 1. Energy storage technologies
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
