Technology Developers, Industry, State and Local Governments, Tribal Organizations, Community Based Organizations, National Laboratories, Universities, and Utilities.
Can energy storage help balance the grid?
Accelerating the uptake of energy storage technology will also mean National Grid can balance the grid by activating storage systems instead of asking certain power generation technologies to switch off, further reducing costs to the taxpayer. Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero Graham Stuart said:
What is long-duration energy storage?
Long-duration energy storage technologies store excess power for long periods to even out the supply. In March 2024, the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee said increasing the UK’s long-duration energy storage capacity would support the UK’s net zero plans and energy security.
What role does energy storage play in the energy landscape?
Kelly Loukatou, one of the ESO’s energy insight leads, considers the role energy storage plays in the current energy landscape and how this is likely to develop. Energy systems need to continuously match supply and demand to ensure that electricity is delivered securely to UK houses and businesses.
What is gravitational energy storage?
Gravitational energy storage is an electricity storage technology that is not further examined in FES, as there is very limited information on future sites and its deployment. However, as the technology further deploys, it remains possible that it may displace some capacity and volume currently allocated to other electricity storage technologies.
What is advanced energy storage technology?
The use of advanced energy storage technology is seen as the key to increasing flexibility in the distribution system. In simple terms, it can allow the capture of generated energy when it is supplemental to needs, so that it can be stored and released at times when it is needed, for example, at times of peak demand.
