No matter how much generating capacity is installed, there will be times when wind and solar cannot meet all demand, and large-scale storage will be needed. Historical weather records indicate that it will be necessary to store large amounts of energy (some 1000 times that provided by pumped hydro) for many years.
This work describes an improved risk assessment approach for analyzing safety designs in the battery energy storage system incorporated in large-scale solar to improve accident prevention and mitigation, via incorporating probabilistic event tree and systems theoretic analysis. The causal factors and mitigation measures are presented.
Energy storage technologies are also the key to lowering energy costs and integrating more renewable power into our grids, fast. If we can get this right, we can hold on to ever-rising quantities of renewable energy we are already harnessing – from our skies, our seas, and the earth itself.
Other similar technologies include the use of excess energy to compress and store air, then release it to turn generator turbines. Alternatively, there are electrochemical technologies, such as vanadium flow batteries.
Mechanical energy storage harnesses motion or gravity to store electricity. For example, a flywheel is a rotating mechanical device used to store rotational energy that can be called up instantaneously.
