4 FAQs about [First solar energy storage]

How has energy storage changed over the years?

In 2017, energy storage installations increased nearly 50% over 2016, close to 6 GW of capacity. The bulk of this explosive growth is from battery energy storage systems (BESS) — specifically, lithium-ion BESS. The first utility-scale demonstration was a 5-MW/1.25-MWh BESS, commissioned for Portand General Electric (PGE) in October 2012.

Why do we need energy storage?

Since the electrical grid has existed, so has the need for stored forms of energy that can be drawn on to meet times of peak demand and regulate frequency. In the past, the bulk of this extra energy came from fossil fuel plants that were fired up and down with demand.

When was hydro storage first used?

Pumped hydro storage was first used in Italy and Switzerland at the end of the 19th century. Thermal energy storage also has a long history.

Why do we need flexible energy storage technologies?

In the past, the bulk of this extra energy came from fossil fuel plants that were fired up and down with demand. As variable renewable resources make up a larger percentage of power generation resources, the need for stable and flexible forms of energy storage technologies continues to increase.
