6 FAQs about [Australian Energy Storage System]

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.

What are Australia's energy storage options?

The then most cost-effective storage options anticipated in 2030 were pumped hydro energy storage (PHES), lithium-ion batteries and zinc bromine batteries. Australia’s abundance of raw materials for batteries and our high level of relevant R&D make energy storage a significant opportunity for industry growth and job creation.

Are energy storage projects progressing in Australia?

Since the release of the report three years ago, there has been a range of energy storage projects progressed in Australia. For example, in 2017, a large-scale energy storage facility in South Australia was constructed using Tesla’s lithium-ion battery system, with excellent results.

Can Australia develop a next-generation energy storage system?

Australia is undertaking world-leading research in several energy storage areas, including next-generation batteries, hydrogen and advanced thermal storage systems. Australia also has strengths in polymer chemistry, a technology that could contribute to the development of next-generation solid-state batteries.

Does Australia need energy storage?

At an aggregated national level, Australia can reach penetrations of 50 per cent renewable energy without a significant requirement for storage to support energy reliability. Australia is well placed to participate in global energy storage supply chains.

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.”
