crazy energy storage problem

Is excessive energy storage a problem?

Spyros Foteinis highlights the acknowledged problem that an insufficient capacity to store energy can result in generated renewable energy being wasted (Nature 632, 29; ). But the risks for power-system security of the converse problem — excessive energy storage — have been mostly overlooked.

Is excessive energy storage a threat to China's power system?

But the risks for power-system security of the converse problem — excessive energy storage — have been mostly overlooked. China plans to install up to 180 million kilowatts of pumped-storage hydropower capacity by . This is around 3.5 times the current capacity, and equivalent to 8 power plants the size of China’s Three Gorges Dam.

Why is energy storage oversupply a problem?

The expansion is driven mainly by local governments and lacks coordination with new energy stations and the power grid. In some regions, a considerable storage oversupply could lead to conflicts in power-dispatch strategies across timescales and jurisdictions, increasing the risk of system instability and large-scale blackouts.

Do we have post-generation energy storage issues?

We have post-generation storage issues as well. Usually, when people think about post-generation energy storage, they think of electrochemical batteries. However, batteries represent a small minority of electrical storage capacity at present. About 90% of current grid storage is in the form of pumped hydro facilities.

Could long-duration storage be the future of energy storage?

For long-duration storage, “it looks plausible that that would be the technology of choice,” says energy expert Wolf-Peter Schill of the German Institute for Economic Research who coauthored a review on the economics of energy storage in the Annual Review of Resource Economics.

Are grids really set up to store energy?

In an earlier article about grid modernization, I wrote that grids were never really set up to store energy. I’ve since realized that, in fact, grids have always been set up to store energy, just in pre-generation form. My revelation came while reading Meredith Angwin’s book, Shorting the Grid: The Hidden Fragility of Our Electric Grid.
