Should electric power companies deploy decentralized storage assets?

Storage as an equity asset: By deploying decentralized storage assets, electric power companies can help provide reliable, resilient, clean, and affordable electricity to low-income communities.

Are pumped-storage power stations a viable solution for energy transition?

One of the main challenges of the energy transition is to develop systems capable of storing excess energy and returning it when it is needed. Pumped-storage power stations are the most effective and economical solution.

How does energy storage affect a power plant's competitiveness?

With energy storage, the plant can provide CO2 continuously while allowing the power to be provided to the grid when needed. In short, energy storage can have a significant impact on the unit’s competitiveness.

How does Swiss Energy Vault work?

The Swiss start-up Energy Vault follows the same principle as pumping and turbines. But instead of water, it uses concrete blocks. When there is a surplus of green electricity, these “bricks” are hoisted on top of each other to form a 120-metre tower. They are then “dropped” using gravity to generate electricity.

Can storage support peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading platforms?

Use storage to support potential peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading platforms: P2P trading platforms on which consumers and prosumers 42 trade electricity among themselves can be a challenge to implement, but they may be a potential future use case.
