The study explores the impact of inflexible generation sources, like solar and wind, and flexible generation sources, such as hydroelectric power, on the capacity requirements for energy storage. To achieve these objectives, the study utilizes high-resolution real-world generation data obtained from existing power generators in Australia.
An energy storage system (ESS) for electricity generation uses electricity (or some other energy source, such as solar-thermal energy) to charge an energy storage system or device, which is discharged to supply (generate) electricity when needed at desired levels and quality. ESSs provide a variety of services to support electric power grids.
The role of power storage in energy systems characterized by high shares of variable renewables has been studied in Ref. . The research involves developing a model to identify cost-effective configurations of generation sources, Demand-Side Management (DSM), power storage capacities, and optimal utilization strategies.
By the end of 2023, China had completed and put into operation a cumulative installed capacity of new type energy storage projects reaching 31.4GW / 66.9GWh, with an average storage duration of 2.1 hours. The newly added installed capacity in 2023 was approximately 22.6GW / 48.7GWh, which is three times that for 2022 (7.3GW / 15.9GWh).
This study evaluates the generating system's capacity adequacy when ESS is present. It delineates various energy storage capacity levels, each of which plays a notable role in enhancing reliability. Hydropower combined with energy storage and synchronized with wind energy to create a more sustainable power system.
