6 FAQs about [Energy storage articles Australia]

How is energy stored in Australia?

Currently storage of electrical energy in Australia consists of a small number of pumped hydroelectric facilities and grid-scale batteries, and a diversity of battery storage systems at small scale, used mainly for backup. To balance energy use across the Australian economy, heat and fuel (chemical energy) storage are also required.

Which energy storage technology is best for Australia's energy needs?

The CEC said emerging LDES technologies coupled with the energy storage systems in place, would be the best suite to appropriately manage Australia’s needs. In March this year, the ARENA held an Insights Forum which covered energy storage and technologies that can bring system security to the grid.

Which energy storage options are a good option for the future?

Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES), Compressed Air Energy Storage System (CAES), and green hydrogen (via fuel cells, and fast response hydrogen-fueled gas peaking turbines) will be options for medium to long-term storage. Batteries and SCs are assessed as a prudent option for the immediate net zero targets for 2030–2050.

Why is long duration energy storage important?

Alex Campbell tells us why long duration energy storage is an important foundation to Australia’s clean energy transition. Australia is working towards a national energy market (NEM) that sources its electricity from clean, renewable energy instead of emission-heavy processes that have dominated for decades.

How can renewable storage technology transform Australia?

Renewable storage technologies have the potential to revolutionise clean and reliable energy access in remote communities, support cost-effective decarbonisation in industry and transform Australia into a green hydrogen export superpower.

Is LDEs the future of energy storage in Australia?

The CEC report found that the use of LDES is “rapidly emerging as effective and complementary to reinforcing these established types of energy storage,” in Australia. It also noted how employing the technology could “bring down the total cost of the transition while also reducing environmental and social impacts.”
