| Summary: | Versatility, ease of deployment, modular
design, and falling costs make stationary energy storage
systems appealing for integrating renewable electricity into
grids. Their most common uses are in hybrid power plants at
utility scale; as a replacement for diesel-fueled backup
generators; as a source of ancillary services for main
grids; and as a component in mini- and off-grid systems
deployed to expand access to electricity. But challenges
remain to scale up energy storage sustainably in developing
countries. The World Bank's new Energy Storage
Partnership is addressing those challenges. |
