Role of energy storage systems in energy transition from fossil
The fast growth of renewables brings new design and operational challenges to transition towards 100% renewable energy goal. Energy storage systems can help ride-through energy transition from hydrocarbon fuels to renewable sources. Nuclear fusion and artificial photosynthesis are the ultimate Holy Grails for permanent clean energy solutions.
Energy Storage Applications in Renewable Energy Systems
Energy storage in form of compressed air energy storage (CAES) is appropriate for both, renewable and non-renewable energy sources. The excess electricity, in this system, when in low electricity demand, is used to generate compressed air, and after, the compressed air, through expansion could run a turbine to generate electricity during
