The Biden administration wants the price of long-duration energy storage to drop by 90% -- a move that would usher in renewable energy sources. And companies are now working to get there.
Specifically, EIC’s solution uses isothermal Compressed Air Energy Storage, which stores surplus renewable power as compressed air. Higher power scales — more than 40 megawatts — are then stored in depleted oil and gas reservoirs as well as salt caverns and aquifers while amounts less than 40 megawatts can be harnessed above ground. Compressed or liquid air is used to generate power when needed. Reliability, it adds, is 99.99%.
To be clear, storage devices come in many forms: the prevailing ones today are batteries that link to the transmission grid where they siphon off power at night and store it. It is then dispatched during the day when prices rise. There are also fast-response flywheels that are useful for short-term needs.
There’s thermal energy too, which captures heat and cold to create energy on demand or to offset energy needs. And there’s mechanical storage, which harnesses kinetic energy. In simple terms, the faster an object moves, the greater its While batteries are meeting many of today’s short-term storage needs, they cannot provide long-term storage:
