For this longer period, the cost-optimal storage needs to be large enough to supply 36 TWh of electricity, which is about three times larger than the energy deficit of the scarcest two weeks. Most of this storage is provided via hydrogen storage in salt caverns, of which the capacity is even larger due to electricity reconversion losses (55 TWh).
The results of five German and European studies are summarized in the appendix (table A2 ). The reported optimal storage energy capacities are large enough to supply 12–32 d of the average load within the considered region, which is about 2–3 times longer than what time series analyses found as the duration of low-wind events.
We conclude that focusing on short-duration extreme events or single years can lead to an underestimation of storage requirements and costs of a 100% renewable system. Original content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
While previous studies analyzed the inter-annual variability of renewables and implications for system planning in general (Pfenninger 2017, Collins et al 2018, Schlachtberger et al 2018, Zeyringer et al 2018, Kumler et al 2019 ), the implications for storage energy requirements in particular remain unclear.
The investment in batteries is distinguished into an energy-specific component (the battery packs) and a power-specific component (the inverters). For hydrogen storage, three investment dimensions are considered: energy (salt caverns), charging power (electrolyzers), and discharging power (combined cycle gas turbines, CCGTs).
This is because multiple scarce periods can closely follow each other. When considering storage losses and charging limitations, the period defining storage requirements extends over as much as 12 weeks.
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%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
