Due to increased share of fluctuating renewable energy sources in future decarbonized, electricity-driven energy systems, participating in the electricity markets yields the potential for industry to reduce its energy costs and emissions. A key enabling technology is thermal energy storage combined with power-to-heat technologies, allowing the industries to shift their energy demands to periods with low electricity prices. This paper presents an optimization-based method which helps to select and dimension the cost-optimal thermal energy storage technology for a given industrial steam process. The storage technologies considered in this work are latent heat thermal energy storage, Ruths steam storage, molten salt storage and sensible concrete storage. Due to their individual advantages and disadvantages, the applicability of these storage technologies strongly depends on the process requirements. The proposed method is based on mathematical programming and simplified transient simulations and is demonstrated using different scenarios for energy prices, i.e., various types of renewable energy generation, and varying heat demand, e.g., due to batch operation or non-continuous production.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) and renewable energy sources are complementary technologies from the power system viewpoint, where renewable energy sources behave as flexibility sinks and create business opportunities for BESS as flexibility sources. Various stakeholders can use BESS to balance, stabilize and flatten demand/generation patterns. These applications depend on the stakeholder role, flexibility service needed from the battery, market opportunities and obstacles, as well as regulatory aspects encouraging or hindering integration of storage technologies. While developed countries are quickly removing barriers and increasing the integration share of BESS, this is seldom the case in developing countries. The paper identifies multiple case opportunities for different power system stakeholders in Croatia, models potential BESS applications using real-world case studies, analyzes feasibility of these investments, and discusses financial returns and barriers to overcome.

Energy Storage Capacity

With the rapid development of industry, more fossil energy is consumed to generate electricity, which increases carbon emissions and aggravates the burden of environmental protection. To reduce carbon emissions, traditional centralized power generation networks are transforming into distributed renewable generation systems. However, the deployment of distributed generation systems can affect power system economy and stability. In this paper, under different time scales, system economy, stability, carbon emissions, and renewable energy fluctuation are comprehensively considered to optimize battery and super-capacitor installation capacity for an off-grid power system. After that, based on the genetic algorithm, this paper shows the optimal system operation strategy under the condition of the theoretical best energy storage capacity. Finally, the theoretical best capacity is tested under different renewable energy volatility rates. The simulation results show that by properly sizing the storage system’s capacity, although the average daily costs of the system can increase by 10%, the system’s carbon emissions also reduce by 42%. Additionally, the system peak valley gap reduces by 23.3%, and the renewable energy output’s fluctuation range and system loss of load probability are successfully limited in an allowable range. Lastly, it has less influence on the theoretical best energy storage capacity if the renewable energy volatility rate can be limited to within 10%.

Abstract The main goal of this work is to study the role of energy storage in the context of the Portuguese power system by the year 2030. Portugal is one of the countries in the world with more installed energy storage capacity, namely pumped hydro storage (PHS). The simulations are performed with energyplan tool and allow us to predict the energy mix in Portugal by the year 2030; to forecast the utilization of the storage capacity, namely projections for the energy produced by PHS; to estimate CO2 emissions and percentage of renewable energy sources (RES) utilization; to assess the necessary storage capacity to avoid renewable curtailment; and to evaluate the future needs of installing further storage capacity, either with more PHS capacity or with the introduction of batteries. PHS revealed that it is important to avoid the curtailment of renewable energy, especially in a scenario of higher RES shares. It is shown that the increase in RES contribution would decrease the overall costs of the system, leading to thinking that further efforts should be made to increase the RES installed capacity and go beyond the official RES predictions for 2030. It is also concluded that the predicted storage capacity for 2030 can accommodate the expected increase in variable renewable generation without any further need for investments in PHS or battery solutions.
