🔋 Powering the Future: The UAE’s Bold Step with Battery Energy Storage The UAE continues to lead the way in sustainable energy innovation, and the recent 400 MW battery energy storage project is a testament to this vision. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are critical in ensuring that clean energy from sources like solar and wind is efficiently stored and used, even during peak demand. With the UAE aiming to achieve Net Zero by 2050, investments in infrastructure like this play a crucial role in balancing energy supply and demand, helping reduce carbon emissions and improve grid stability. Seeing how far the region has come in its sustainability journey reminds me of the importance of strategic investments—not just in technology, but in long-term thinking. As we continue to face global energy challenges, I find myself asking: How can we further innovate to ensure that these solutions are scalable and accessible for future generations?

This experiment presents a highly effective solution for energy storage. Notably, the use of superheated steam to store and discharge thermal energy enhances the system's performance. The ability to charge and discharge heat at varying rates further validates its reliability. More utility companies should consider adopting this approach. However, in sudden load-changing scenarios, a molten salt-based thermal energy storage system may prove more efficient, as molten salt offers a higher charging and discharging ramp rate than concrete-based systems.

Thermal energy storage (TES) is emerging as a key technology for grid flexibility and decarbonization. EPRI, in collaboration with Storworks Power and Southern Company, recently piloted concrete thermal energy storage (CTES) at Alabama Power’s Plant Gaston. The system completed 86 charge/discharge cycles, offering longer-duration, lower-cost storage than lithium-ion batteries. EPRI’s research validated the technology, achieving roundtrip efficiencies over 88%, uncovering valuable lessons learned for future deployments. Could CTES be the next big breakthrough in energy storage?

A study by the Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE on the #electricity generation costs of various power plants in #Germany has indicated that #photovoltaic systems produce electricity at a cost lower than coal or gas-fired power plants, even in combination with #battery storage. https://lnkd.in/gCFAYnxR #energystorage

In the ERCOT market, is Energy Storage Resource discharge data published? I just realized the ERCOT Fuel mix report that reports actual generation for each interval by fuel type includes ESR charging load but not the discharge energy. It would surely help complete the picture.

Long duration energy storage panel at #ceraweek had academia (Yi Cui from Stanford) industry (Julia Sounder at Long Duration Energy Storage Counsel and Chet Lyons at Corte Energy) and government leader (Ministor Fitzgibbon from the government of Quebec) to discuss the opportunities and challenges in new long-duration energy storage techs. This could be a strategical area for fundamental research in academia institutes as the 2.0 version of battery development.
