Integration of high penetrations of intermittent renewable generation in future electricity networks using storage

Abstract:

The increasing demand for electricity, particularly in the light of foreseen heat and transport demand shifts to this type of energy, introduces several changes such as growth in peak power and annual energy requirements. With also increasing targets for decarbonization, lower and zero carbon sources of electricity generation are called to meet these changes in demand, introducing several design and operational challenges. This chapter discusses some aspects of the low-carbon transition for future networks and focuses on the role that storage can play in alleviating some of the problems associated with renewable energy penetration, forms that storage can take, and how it can be successfully integrated and controlled.
