6 FAQs about [Preconditions for grid-side energy storage investment]

Does grid energy storage have a supply chain resilience?

This report provides an overview of the supply chain resilience associated with several grid energy storage technologies. It provides a map of each technology’s supply chain, from the extraction of raw materials to the production of batteries or other storage systems, and discussion of each supply chain step.

Why should we invest in grid infrastructures?

Investing in grid infrastructures also brings significant and extensive socioeconomic benefits that are complex to quantify. Upgraded grids can electrify remote communities, empower rural economies, and support distributed access for emerging industries and users, such as electric transportation, green hydrogen production and data centres.

How do we define effective and efficient objectives for storage and grids?

The most critical step to define effective and efficient objectives for the deployment of storage and grids that meet the specific needs of a country is the integrated assessment of the national power generation mix and flexibility sources.

Why does the United States lag in grid storage?

Reliance on other countries for critical raw and refined materials, components, and products—The United States lags Asia, and especially China, in the manufacture and supply of materials, components, and end products for grid storage.

How can smart electrification improve the power grid?

In addition, integrating renewables efficiently into the power grid requires modernised infrastructures. Smart electrification strategies include innovative grid management tools, which optimise energy flows, minimise curtailments, and enhance system resilience.

Which technologies are commercially available for grid storage?

Several technologies are commercially available or will likely be commercially available for grid storage in the near-term. The technologies evaluated provide storage durations that range from hours to days and response times of milliseconds to minutes. Four families of battery technologies and three LDES technologies are evaluated.
