How will government support electrochemical storage?

New research promoting soft-side innovations and business models will expedite integration of electrochemical storage into common markets. Further government support is necessary to promote responsible R&D spending that enables serious cost reductions across solar, wind, and storage, while also decarbonizing electricity and transportation.

Who is AES Energy Storage?

Arlington, Virginia-based AES Energy Storage was founded in 2007 as a spin-off of the Fortune 200 global AES Corporation Group. The company is a leader in commercial energy storage solutions and is most notably recognised by its Advancion 4 energy storage solution.

How can a decarbonized energy system research platform overcome intermittency challenges?

A deeply decarbonized energy system research platform needs materials science advances in battery technology to overcome the intermittency challenges of wind and solar electricity. Simultaneously, policies designed to build market growth and innovation in battery storage may complement cost reductions across a suite of clean energy technologies.

What is the share of energy-related R&D?

The dark green dots show a similar development for the share of energy-related R&D to total R&D spending. In the late 1970s, energy R&D accounted for over 10% of total R&D, of which more than 50% was allocated to nuclear energy globally.

Will electricity storage benefit from R&D and deployment policy?

Electricity storage will benefit from both R&D and deployment policy. This study shows that a dedicated programme of R&D spending in emerging technologies should be developed in parallel to improve safety and reduce overall costs, and in order to maximize the general benefit for the system.

What is ycube energy storage?

In addition to its project work, the company also launched its own range of energy storage hardware, power converter unit and a standalone, easily deployable storage solution called the YCube.
