Short-, medium-, and long-duration energy storage in a 100% renewable electricity grid: A UK case study (2021)
Journal Article
Cárdenas, B., Swinfen-Styles, L., Rouse, J., & Garvey, S. D. (2021). Short-, medium-, and long-duration energy storage in a 100% renewable electricity grid: A UK case study. Energies, 14(24), Article 8524. https://doi.org/10.3390/en14248524

Energy storage will be required over a wide range of discharge durations in future zero-emission grids, from milliseconds to months. No single technology is well suited for the complete range. Using 9 years of UK data, this paper explores how to comb... Read More about Short-, medium-, and long-duration energy storage in a 100% renewable electricity grid: A UK case study.
