Which energy storage option is most cost-effective?
The application analysis reveals that battery energy storage is the most cost-effective choice for durations of <2 h, while thermal energy storage is competitive for durations of 2.3–8 h. Pumped hydro storage and compressed-air energy storage emerges as the superior options for durations exceeding 8 h.
Will energy storage save the energy industry?
It’s generation . . . it’s transmission . . . it’s energy storage!
