Energy storage in the energy transition and blue economy
The blue economy promises opportunities for offshore energy storage, notably through ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) and compressed air energy storage (CAES). Moreover,
Various application domains are considered. Energy storage is one of the hot points of research in electrical power engineering as it is essential in power systems. It can improve power system stability, shorten energy generation environmental influence, enhance system efficiency, and also raise renewable energy source penetrations.
As a result, there is a growing need for enhanced flexibility to maintain stable and reliable operations. This study reviews recent advancements in power system flexibility enhancement, particularly concerning the integration of RESs, with a focus on the critical role of energy storage systems (ESSs) in mitigating these challenges.
The advantages of this technology include high safety, long lifespan, and relatively low environmental impact, making it particularly suitable for large-scale energy storage systems.
Additionally, to meet the European Union (EU) targets for decarbonization, aiming to reduce overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and decarbonize power systems by 80-85% by 2040, and to enhance the global share of RESs in the energy mix, there is a growing urgency to install more ESSs.
