Bulk storage alters both the dispatch stack and the wholesale electricity prices in the market, changing both the dispatch of other generators and the clearing prices that they earn. A decline in revenues because of decreased capacity factor or decreased electricity prices (or both) could force retirements of existing generating plants [21], [22].

Energy storage is a valuable tool for balancing the grid and integrating more renewable energy. When energy demand is low and production of renewables is high, the excess energy can be stored for later use. When demand for energy or power is high and supply is low, the stored energy can be discharged. Due to the hourly, seasonal, and locational ...

4 · Gravity batteries might be the answer. The idea sounds simple – when there is plenty of green energy, the batteries use the power to lift a heavy weight either high into the air or to the top of a deep shaft. Then when the power is needed, winches gradually lower the weight, and produce electricity from the movement of the cables.

With thermochemical storage, a compound (say, AB) absorbs energy and is converted chemically into two compounds (say, A and B). In the reverse reaction, A and B are combined back to form AB, releasing heat. While thermochemical storage enjoys high efficiency, this is an area that''s still being explored.
