Storage services and architectures in islands are identified. Two storage designs emerge as of particular interest. Storage operating principles, remuneration schemes, and investments feasibility are discussed. Electricity storage is crucial for power systems to achieve higher levels of renewable energy penetration.
Centrally managed storage facilities in island power systems dominate the relevant literature. Table 4 includes the papers dealing with the centrally managed storage concept. Table S2 of the Supplementary data and Fig. 7 present additional details for the most representative ones.
Ιn , batteries and pumped-hydro storage have been identified as the leading storage technologies for islands, with the former effectively applicable to small and medium size system and the latter to large systems with natural reservoirs.
Electricity storage is crucial for power systems to achieve higher levels of renewable energy penetration. This is especially significant for non-interconnected island (NII) systems, which are electrically isolated and vulnerable to the fluctuations of intermittent renewable generation.
Undoubtedly, energy storage stations (ESS) are vital for the electricity sector of NII to move to penetrations of renewables over 50 %. As can be inferred from Table 1, pumped hydro storage (PHS) and battery energy storage (BES) technologies dominate the landscape of actual grid-scale applications for island systems.
The review process identified three main storage typologies suitable for deployment in island systems: (a) storage coupled with RES within a hybrid power station, (b) centrally managed standalone storage installations, and (c) behind-the-meter storage installations. Of particular interest are the former two, which dominate the relevant literature.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%.
