Electricity storage in the power sector

Electricity generated by renewables, such as wind energy and solar power, is based on variable resources. Electricity storage can optimise the energy flows between supply and demand and therefore enable a higher contribution of renewable energy in our electricity mix. Renewables may also not be fully available at the moment when demand is higher or … Continue reading Electricity storage in the power sector

Belgium plans artificial island for wind energy storage

Belgium is planning to construct an island in the North Sea for the sole purpose storing wind energy. Wind farms, when constructed using traditional mainstream methods, will eventually require backup as their electricity market penetration increases, and when wind turbines generate surplus electricity due to unusually high wind speeds (which can happen pretty often) it … Continue reading Belgium plans artificial island for wind energy storage
