Storage technologies are a promising option to provide the power system with the flexibility required when intermittent renewables are present in the electricity generation mix. This paper focuses on the role of electricity storage in energy systems with high shares of renewable sources.
The power sector needs to ensure a rapid transition towards a low-carbon energy system to avoid the dangerous consequences of greenhouse gas emissions. Storage technologies are a promising option to provide the power system with the flexibility required when intermittent renewables are present in the electricity generation mix.
Storage technologies store one commodity and are sized in terms of energy capacity and charging/discharging power capacity. Energy and power capacities are expanded independently, however, for batteries, a linear dependence between them is integrated.
The model comparison assesses electricity storage role and its modelling challenges. Storage enables lower cost transitions including high variable renewables uptakes. Carbon taxes might promote non-variable rather than variable renewables. Diversity in storage costs, geographical, and temporal granularity affects outcomes.
The present study focuses on electricity storage. Electricity storage can help achieve grid flexibility by absorbing power when supply is abundant while releasing it when scarce and offers a specific power output for a particular discharge duration.
Energy storage is crucial for successfully building an energy system model containing large shares of VRES. In their review of 75 energy systems models, Ringkjøb et al. (2018) highlight that the vast majority of them include at least one technological option for electricity storage.
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.
