Europe is evermore subject to dichotomies. On one side there is a tremendous push for renewables, driven by the need to address climate change, fossil fuels dependency, namely gas, and record-breaking high electricity prices. On the other side, there is the challenge to be able to use all the variable renewable energy produced, thus extracting the most value from it and attaining the full climate, societal and market beneficial impact, which is already not happening today.</p> There are multiple factors limiting the actual value of renewable generation, and particularly the fastest growing source, which is utility-scale Solar Photovoltaics (PV). The known variability of the resources, their limited dispatchability to meet demand. Moreover, the fact that, regionally, the generation tends to follow similar profiles, meaning an accumulation of renewable generation in several periods of the day, and thus a cannibalization of its market value, which may hinder investments from Independent Power Producers (IPP). These reasons, associated by the fact that the integration of these sources is outpacing immensely the capability of electricity grid’s upgrade investments to accommodate different and more distributed energy sources, brings additional urgency to seek for flexibility enablers, such as energy storage. Today, the result of lack of flexibility is renewable energy curtailment in regions with high concentrations, with a further aggravation of this challenge in the short and medium-term.</p> <span style="color:rgb(115, 115, 115); font-family:helvetica neue,helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px"> </span><strong><div class="quote"> <blockquote style="margin-left: 0px;padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;"> <div class="quote-inner"> <p class="says">The lack of flexibility results in renewable energy curtailment in regions with high concentrations, with further aggravation of this challenge in the short and medium-term </p> </div> </blockquote> </div></strong></p> The need for energy storage grows in different forms and coupled with its multifunctional potential. Energy storage is needed at the local level, coupled with renewable generation as challenges such as curtailment due to grid’s operational constraints being mainly location dependent. Additionally, such energy storage systems need to provide different services in order to capture multiple revenue streams, enabling a business case and bringing added value to the renewable energy. With the increase of renewable sources connected at each grid connection point to maximize their utilization factor, the required duration of such energy storage will also increase in time, meaning that different technologies, beyond Lithium-ion, will be needed, with Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) being fundamental for ensuring the accommodation of renewable energy in a fully decarbonized scenario. Also, depending on the technology, a systemic integration is needed to complement the need for power system’s adequacy of generation and demand, today ensured by pumped hydro storage.</p> However, the optimal use of energy storage is fundamentally dependent its management software, the ability of forecasting generation and market prices and, therefore, the enabling of optimization algorithms and algorithmic trading of such resources in the different electricity markets. This means not only the merchant participation of energy storage in wholesale, day-ahead and intra-day, markets but their active participation in ancillary services, in a faster, more efficient way than traditional sources. Moreover, this allows Grid operators, as it has been the case of successes such as the UK, to create new services that recognize the potential of different energy storage technologies, and that are more adequate to the generation and demand characteristics that we have today and will have tomorrow. In fact, these innovative AI-driven tools, while leveraging the value of the renewable energy in the perspective of an IPP, also contribute to creating flexibility at the power system level, fomenting the further integration the renewable energy, being fundamental for the decarbonization of the electric sector.  </p></p><p class="sppb-meta-date head-res" itemprop="datePublished" style="font-size: 18px;font-family: 'Heebo', sans-serif;text-transform: capitalize;line-height: 31px;text-align: justify;padding-top: 0px;border-bottom: 0;padding-bottom: 0px !important;"></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></section></div> <div>  </div> <style type="text/css">@media only screen and (min-width:572px) and (max-width:775px){.header-bottom .main-menu ul li a{padding:20px 5px!important}}@media only screen and (min-width:300px) and (max-width:500px){.footer1{padding-left:2px!important}}footer { &::before {content: ' ' !important;}}.fa-linkedin::before {content: "\f0e1";}</style><footer style="float: left;width: 100%;" > <div class="footer-area footer-padding" style="background-color: #fff6eb; padding-top: 40px; padding-bottom: 20px;float: left;width: 100%;"> <div class="header-area"> <div class="main-header"> <div class="header-top d-lg-block d-none" style=""> <div class="container"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="row d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center"> <div class="header-info-left d-flex justify-content-center11 col-md-4"> <div class="header-social" style="text-align: left;"> <a class="Linked-new" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/energy-business-review/" style="border-radius: 0%;/! height: 26px !important; //! width: 26px; /padding: 0px;padding-left: 6px;/! background-color: #0a66c2; /color: #fff;font-size: 12px;display: inline-block;padding-left: 7px;padding-top: 5px;border: 2px solid #0a66c2;padding-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #0a66c2;font-family: "Chivo", sans-serif;font-size: 20px;font-weight: 700;">Linked</span> <i class="fa fa-linkedin" style="padding-left: 5px;background-color: #0a66c2;padding: 5px;font-size: 14px;font-size: 20px;font-weight: 500;color: #fff;"></i></a></div></div> <div class="header-info-mid col-md-4" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="logo"> <a href="https://www.energybusinessreview.com"> <div style="text-align: center;display: inline-block;"> <img alt="" src="https://www.energybusinessreview.com/images/Energybusinessreviewlogo-01.svg" style="width: 268px;"> </div></a></div></div> <div class="header-info-right11 d-flex11 align-items-center11 col-md-4" style="text-align: right;display: inline-block !important;"> <ul style="float: right;font-weight: bold;font-size: small;"> <li style="float: left;padding-right: 30px;"> <a href="https://www.energybusinessreview.com/sitemaps/a" style="color: #000;">Sitemap</a></li> <li style="float: left;"> <a href="https://www.energybusinessreview.com/about-us/" style="color: #000;">About Us</a> </li></ul></div></div></div></div></div> <div class="header-bottom header-bottom2" style="width: 100%;float: left;"> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row align-items-center"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="main-menu text-center"> <nav> <ul class="footer1"> <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.energybusinessreview.com/news/">News</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.energybusinessreview.com/contributors/">Contributors</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.energybusinessreview.com/conference/">Conferences</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.energybusinessreview.com/newsletter/">Newsletter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.energybusinessreview.com/subscribe/">Subscribe</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.energybusinessreview.com/feedback-mechanism-and-correction-Policy/">Feedback Policy</a></li><li><a href="https://www.energybusinessreview.com/editorial_policy/">Editorial Policy</a></li> </ul></nav></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> <div class="footer-bottom-area" style="float: left;width: 100%;background: #970b0b;"> <div class="container"> <div class="footer-border"> <div class="row align-items-center justify-content-center"> <div class="col-xl-9 col-lg-8"> <div class="footer-copy-right text-center"> <p style="padding-top: 14px;color: #fff !important;border-bottom: none;margin-bottom: 0px;font-family:Chivo,sans-serif;font-size: 17px !important;">Copyright © 2024 Energy Business Review.
