Can storage support 100% renewable electricity futures in Southeast Asia?

This study is the first to explore the benefits of utilising STORES as a primary storage medium to support 100% renewable electricity futures in Southeast Asia. STORES can facilitate high penetration of variable solar and wind energy in electricity systems through energy time shifting and load levelling.

How long does energy storage last in Southeast Asia?

Within all the scenarios, the duration of storage is in the range of 0–38 h, which means hours or days of short-term energy storage are required in Southeast Asia rather than weeks or months of long-term, seasonal energy storage.

Can battery storage be used in large-scale energy storage?

As noted in Section 1, off-river, closed-loop pumped hydro was utilised as a primary method for large-scale energy storage. Due to the geographic constraints, in Brunei and Singapore, however, battery storage systems were used and responsible for the energy time-shifting.

Does short-term off-River energy storage support 100% renewable electricity in Southeast Asia?

Rapid increases in electricity consumption in Southeast Asia caused by rising living standards and population raise concerns about energy security, affordability and environmental sustainability. In this study, the role of short-term off-river energy storage (STORES) in supporting 100% renewable electricity in Southeast Asia is investigated.

What is the lifecycle energy use of solar photovoltaics?

The lifecycle energy use of renewable energy and storage is only a negligible fraction of that of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. The lifecycle emissions of carbon and air pollutants (SO 2, NO x and PM) from solar photovoltaics manufacturing, installation, operation and recycling can be very low.

What materials are used in solar energy & storage?

Concrete, steel, aluminium, copper and glass used in solar energy and storage are general construction materials and only account for a small proportion of the global supply chains.
