Although decentralized generation presently represents a low weight in national generation, storage systems can contribute to limit the fluctuating availability to solar and wind
Wind capacity and generation grew rapidly in several European countries, such as Portugal. Wind power adoption in Portugal began in the early 2000s, incentivized by a continuous feed-in tariff
Wind power covered 27% in the same period, followed by solar (10%) and biomass (6%), according to data by REN. In the same period, Portugal registered yearly power

Concerning the current status of energy storage in Portugal, there is still a renewable energy surplus in the range of 800–1200 GW h ( Miguel et al., 2018) that is lost, mainly in Winter and Spring. Pumped hydro, based on reverse pumping systems installed in the large hydro plants is currently the dominant form of energy storage.
Yet, the incentives for promoting storage technologies in Portugal, mainly those at decentralised level, are unclear. Our research also indicated that mechanisms for payment of flexibility services inherent to the use of energy storage devices are still missing.
Now that Portugal is increasingly decommissioning fossil fuel plants, the need to ramp-up the growth and expansion of renewable installed capacity is being brought into sharper focus. Similarly, the need to invest in suitable alternatives and instruments to optimize renewable capacity is also becoming increasingly important.
Although Portugal has made impressive investments in large-scale renewable energy technologies during the last 20 years, the participation of small-scale decentralized generation systems has assumed a growing role in electricity generation, as shown in Table 1. Table 1.
By 2030, Portugal should achieve a target of 47% renewable energy in gross final energy consumption and a target of 20% renewable energy in transport.
