As per the latest advisory issued by the Central Electricity Authority, renewable energy agencies and state utilities need to incorporate a minimum of two hours of co-located energy storage capacity equivalent to 10% of the installed capacity in all upcoming solar project tenders.
The advisory, addressed to state governments, central generating stations, and renewable energy agencies, highlights the need for energy storage to mitigate intermittency challenges in solar and wind power generation.
As of the end of 2022, the total nameplate power capacity of operational utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in the United States was 8,842 MW and the total energy capacity was 11,105 MWh. Most of the BESS power capacity that was operational in 2022 was installed after 2014, and about 4,807 MW was installed in 2022 alone.
Other types of ESSs that are in various stages of research, development, and commercialization include capacitors and super-conducting magnetic storage. Hydrogen, when produced by electrolysis and used to generate electricity, could be considered a form of energy storage for electricity generation.
So there you have it—the 2-hour energy storage revolution, no PhD required. Whether you''re a grid guru or just want lights on during the Super Bowl, this tech''s got skin in the game.
