We conclude that focusing on short-duration extreme events or single years can lead to an underestimation of storage requirements and costs of a 100% renewable system. Original content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
In this review, energy storage from the gigawatt pumped hydro systems to the smallest watt-hour battery are discussed, and the future directions predicted. If renewable energy, or even lower cost energy, is to become prevalent energy storage is a critical component in reducing peak power demands and the intermittent nature of solar and wind power.
The results of five German and European studies are summarized in the appendix (table A2 ). The reported optimal storage energy capacities are large enough to supply 12–32 d of the average load within the considered region, which is about 2–3 times longer than what time series analyses found as the duration of low-wind events.
Storage technologies are highlighted with hatching. This expectation is confirmed in figure 3 (a), which displays the maximum energy deficit as a function of duration. In fact, the maximum energy deficit increases monotonically with duration for up to 14 d and starts oscillating for longer durations.
As a constraint, the storage levels at the end of 1 year must be equal to the levels at the beginning of the next year, and the storage levels at the end of the last year must be equal to the levels at the beginning of the first year.
While previous studies analyzed the inter-annual variability of renewables and implications for system planning in general (Pfenninger 2017, Collins et al 2018, Schlachtberger et al 2018, Zeyringer et al 2018, Kumler et al 2019 ), the implications for storage energy requirements in particular remain unclear.
