06-06-24 | Darlington Eze Ekechukwu & Peter Simpa
This paper presents a comprehensive review of innovative approaches in renewable energy storage. As the world faces climate change challenges, integrating renewable energy into the power grid is crucial. However, the intermittent nature of renewables requires effective storage solutions. The review explores various renewable sources, including solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro, and their storage challenges. It examines existing technologies like lithium-ion batteries, pumped hydro storage, and flywheel systems, as well as emerging solutions such as solid-state batteries, organic flow batteries, thermal energy storage, and gravity-based storage. The paper also discusses economic, environmental, and regulatory factors influencing renewable energy storage. It highlights the need for innovation to enhance efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. The review concludes with recommendations for future research and policy initiatives to support the development of a resilient energy storage ecosystem. The importance of effective storage in ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply is emphasized, along with the role of policy and industry in advancing renewable energy storage technologies. The paper underscores the necessity of continuous research and development to address the challenges and opportunities in renewable energy storage.This paper presents a comprehensive review of innovative approaches in renewable energy storage.
