EU Neue Energiespeicher
Elektrische Speicher sind ein zentraler Baustein des Energiesystems. Mit modernsten Geräten und industrienahen Pilotanlagen bietet das »Zentrum für elektrische Energiespeicher« des Fraunhofer ISE eine einzigartige Infrastruktur für ein breites FuE-Dienstleistungsangebot – und das entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette von Batterien.
Why is energy storage important in the EU?
It can also facilitate the electrification of different economic sectors, notably buildings and transport. The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped hydro' storage, but battery storage projects are rising. A variety of new technologies to store energy are also rapidly developing and becoming increasingly market-competitive.
What is the main energy storage reservoir in the EU?
Amongst other findings, it shows how the main energy storage reservoir in the EU at the moment is pumped hydro storage. However, as prices fall, new battery technology projects are emerging - such as lithium-ion batteries and behind-the-meter storage.
Is energy storage the key to decarbonising the EU energy system?
The Commission has published today a series of recommendations on energy storage, with concrete actions that EU countries can take to ensure its greater deployment. Analysis has shown that storage is key to decarbonising the EU energy system.
Why should EU countries consider the 'consumer-producer' role of energy storage?
It addresses the most important issues contributing to the broader deployment of energy storage. EU countries should consider the double 'consumer-producer' role of storage by applying the EU electricity regulatory framework and by removing barriers, including avoiding double taxation and facilitating smooth permitting procedures.
Does energy storage contribute to the security of electricity supply in Europe?
Funded by the Commission, this independent study, entitled “ Energy Storage Study - Contribution to the security of electricity supply in Europe ”, analyses the different flexibility energy storage options that will be needed to reap the full potential of the large share of variable energy sources in the power system.
What is a 2023 report on energy storage?
The 2023 report included dedicated sections on renewable hydrogen production through water electrolysis, and batteries, which are crucial to succeed in the decarbonisation of the energy and transport sectors. A Commission Recommendation on energy storage (C/2023/1729) was adopted in March 2023.
