Stabilising the grid through use of energy storage.

Gazey, R.; Ali, D.; Aklil, D.

Abstract

A low carbon economy is now a central policy objective for the UK Government, with renewable energy as one of the key delivery mechanisms. Due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation, the UK's renewable energy targets will be difficult to meet without the use of energy storage technologies. It is projected in some market reports that the UK could potentially face up to a 23% shortfall in peak period energy supply by 2015, and 31.5% shortfall in 2020. It is estimated by then that the costs of unplanned power cuts to the UK economy could reach as much as £192bn.
