Decarbonizing the Grid: Pathways to Sustainable Energy Storage
2020, International Journal of Advanced Research in Basic Engineering Sciences and Technology (IJARBEST)
Abstract
The urgency to mitigate climate change has necessitated the decarbonization of the energy grid, with sustainable energy storage being pivotal to this transition. This paper explores the multifaceted role of energy storage systems in enabling a cleaner grid by integrating renewable energy sources, thus reducing reliance on fossil fuels. We examine various energy storage technologies, including lithium-ion batteries, pumped hydro storage, and emerging alternatives like solid-state batteries and flow batteries, assessing their potential in terms of efficiency, scalability, and environmental impact. Our methodology involves a comparative analysis of current energy storage solutions, life-cycle assessments, and modeling of energy storage deployment at scale. We also investigate the economic and policy frameworks that could support the widespread adoption of sustainable energy storage. Results indicate that while lithium-ion batteries currently dominate the market, diversification of storage technologies is essential to address the varying demands of the energy grid and to overcome the limitations of individual systems. Our findings suggest that strategic investment in research and development, coupled with supportive policies, can significantly enhance the performance and reduce the costs of energy storage solutions. Sustainable energy storage is a critical enabler for decarbonizing the energy grid. The paper underscores the need for a holistic approach that combines technological innovation, economic incentives, and regulatory support to accelerate the adoption of energy storage and achieve a sustainable, resilient, and carbon-neutral energy future.
