During natural disasters and periods of very high demand, the grid can collapse, setting up countless life-and-death situations. An electricity storage solution can be used to reduce or avoid adverse effects and costs linked with electrical service outages or poor quality electrical power.
Integrating energy storage into the power grid often requires significant upgrades to transmission and distribution infrastructure. Initiatives like the EU’s Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) program are driving investments in grid modernization, enabling greater flexibility and grid balancing capabilities.
Steps also need to be taken when production falls and demand does not. In order to be the most effective, energy storage solutions should be incorporated into the electrical grid, heating and cooling networks and natural gas systems, according to a recent working paper from the European Commission.
Meanwhile, others, like the UK, have focused on integrating energy storage into existing policy frameworks, such as the Capacity Market and Contracts for Difference schemes. The large-scale deployment of energy storage systems poses significant technical and operational challenges for grid operators.
Regulators are grappling with how to quantify these system-level benefits and incorporate them into cost-benefit analyses for energy storage investments. This is particularly crucial for longer-duration energy storage technologies, which may have higher upfront costs but provide greater long-term value to the grid.
Regulators must balance the need for grid reliability and stability with the flexibility and responsiveness demanded by energy storage technologies. One emerging issue is the need for harmonized standards and safety regulations for energy storage systems, particularly for newer technologies like flow batteries and hydrogen storage.
