Are power grids prepared for the renewable energy revolution? Sadly, they are not. This poses a serious threat to our electricity security and the success of the energy transition. In this article we explain why this is the case and why Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are a partial but
Over the upcoming three decades, battery energy storage will be the fastest growing source of power system flexibility in all scenarios. According to the International Energy Agency, installed battery storage, including both utility-scale and behind-the-meter systems, amounted to more than 27 GW at the end of 2021. Since then, the
How can we facilitate the energy transition while increasing electricity security? More specifically, how can allow for a faster and smoother deployment of renewables while reducing electricity price fluctuations and minimizing public grid disruptions and congestions? The answer is by increasing power system flexibility. Accordingly, this article will address what
