This review discusses the role of energy storage in the energy transition and the blue economy, focusing on technological development, challenges, and directions. Effective storage is vital for balancing intermittent renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and marine energy with the power grid.
Energy storage creates a buffer in the power system that can absorb any excess energy in periods when renewables produce more than is required. This stored energy is then sent back to the grid when supply is limited.
Transitioning to renewable energy is vital to achieving decarbonization at the global level, but energy storage is still a major challenge. This review discusses the role of energy storage in the energy transition and the blue economy, focusing on technological development, challenges, and directions.
Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time, enabling us to bridge the gap between when renewable energy is generated and when it's needed most. This technology has become the cornerstone of grid stability, energy security, and the economic viability of clean energy systems.
