Turning storage into a reality – economic tools for effective application
Introduction
Due to the government’s strong push towards clean energy, the concept of storing wind and solar powers as well as excess energy produced by smart grid, has become especially appealing. Electric energy storage has the potential to provide cost-savings and additional efficiency for utility companies and wind/solar developers. However, many utility companies are still in the research and design phase because they need to look at which technologies do and do not work
Through international and local utility-specific case studies, this track will map out the future of storage technologies, the integration of renewables, the impact of storage technologies on an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and smart grid, how a diverse mix of Renewable Energy sources can be handled to ensure the balance between demand and supply and also, how more efficient and autonomous energy supply systems can be established.
Storage is synergetic with the smart grid. The technology is there but it is the business models and customer experience that will determine the success.
