- ftth_finland 3y agoYes, but it's 280 pages. Which parts in particular address long term storage? Searching for "storage" gives very few hits. This was perhaps the most pertinent hit: "IT IS GENERALLY NOT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE TO store electricity in bulk. The widespread deployment of new storage technologies and/ or high penetrations of electric vehicles may someday change this, but these developments are unlikely before 2030." along with this: "Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is the only other storage technology [other than pumped hydro] that has achieved long-term utility-scale operation. ... Only two utility-scale CAES facilities have been constructed worldwide: a 290 MW facility with two hours of storage in Huntorf, Germany, that entered commercial operations in 1978 and a 110 MW facility with 26 hours of storage in McIntosh, Alabama, that entered commercial operations in 1991." Not very much to go on, now is there.
- fooblaster 3y agoThis is my fault. I posted the wrong study: https://energy.mit.edu/research/future-of-energy-storage/ https://energy.mit.edu/research/future-of-energy-storage/ See chapter 6 for modeling storage and the amount of storage needed for various levels of decarbonization.
