Current technologies development for renewable energy storage: a review

Renewable energy storage technologies have emerged as the most effective for energy storage due to significant advantages. The major goal of energy storage is to efficiently store energy and deliver it for use. Renewable energy storage solutions increase system productivity and capture the unpredictable renewable energy supply, enabling quick and simple modifications to the electric infrastructure. To fully realize the benefits of this added flexibility, a comprehensive optimization of an energy storage system’s specialized functions is required. This paper outlines the essential components of various energy storage systems and examines their benefits and drawbacks across the full range of system operations, including demand response and self-generation, from generation to distribution to the customer. This review focuses on the performance and limitations of the different types currently used for renewable energy storage, with an emphasis on the most significant factor contributing to the rise of thermochemical energy storage for reducing emissions: energy storage has the potential to reduce reliance on “peaker” plants that run on fossil fuels to meet peak demand, which produces large amounts of pollution. One of the goals for the modeling and improvement of thermochemical energy storage technology, particularly employing perovskite and other materials, is to provide broad coverage and a quick response time, especially when used in induction heating reactors. Furthermore, energy storage can enhance the resilience of the grid, helping it withstand external shocks and natural disasters.
