The storage technologies covered in this primer range from well-established and commercialized technologies such as pumped storage hydropower (PSH) and lithium-ion battery energy storage to more novel technologies under research and development (R&D).
The decision guide outlines important factors for policymakers and electric sector regulators to consider when comparing energy storage against other means of meeting power system objectives, while the technology primer provides synopses of current and emerging energy storage technologies for grid-scale electricity sector applications.
Thermal energy storage (TES) refers to technologies that can store heat for later use. Some TES technologies use electricity to generate heat and store the heat until it is converted back to electricity, while other TES store and release heat directly without converting to and from electricity. This primer focuses on the former.
Electrochemical storage systems use a series of reversible chemical reactions to store electricity in the form of chemical energy.
PSH is the most developed and widely commercialized energy storage technology for power sector applications globally. PSH is marked by large capacities and long durations that make it well-suited for services such as load following or energy arbitrage, charging during times of cheap power and meeting demand during system peaks.
