Renewable Energy Instability: A Challenge for the Polish Energy Market
In the past decade, Poland has built thousands of wind and solar power plants with a combined capacity of over 24 GW. Unfortunately, renewable energy sources are characterized by significant instability due to seasonal wind patterns, sunshine mainly in the summer and only during daylight hours, and periodic droughts affecting river water levels.
Gravitational Energy Storage: An Innovative Solution
Gravitational energy storage systems could revolutionize the renewable energy market. These systems operate similarly to pumped-storage hydroelectric plants but replace water with steel blocks lifted by reversible electric motors using steel cables and pulleys. The main advantages of such storage systems are their consistently high efficiency and over 99.9% recyclability.
Energy storage systems are not only a means to balance electricity demand but also a tool for stabilizing power grids. During periods of overproduction, when demand is low, excess energy can be stored. When energy demand rises, storage systems can supply energy to the grid, helping to stabilize voltage and frequency.
Why Are Energy Storage Systems Crucial for Photovoltaics?
Energy storage systems are crucial for solar energy for several reasons:
Optimizing solar energy use: Energy storage systems allow businesses to store excess energy produced by solar panels during the day. This stored energy can be used later or during periods of insufficient sunlight.
Energy independence: With photovoltaic energy storage, businesses can become less dependent on traditional electricity suppliers, leading to greater energy independence and stability.
Cost savings: Although the initial cost of purchasing an energy storage system can be high, long-term savings can be substantial, especially for energy-intensive companies.
How to Choose an Energy Storage System for Solar Power Plant?
Selecting an energy storage system for solar power plant is crucial for effective use of solar energy. Consider the following factors:
Installation size: Take into account the size of the photovoltaic installation and the company’s expected energy needs.
Technology choice: There are various energy storage technologies. The right technology should match the client’s specific needs and requirements.
Cost vs. efficiency: When choosing an energy storage system, consider not only the price but also the efficiency and durability of the device to maximize investment returns.
Industrial Energy Storage and Its Impact on the Market
Industrial energy storage systems are becoming increasingly popular not only among photovoltaic companies but also in other industrial sectors. Their flexibility and ability to store large amounts of electricity make them a key element in building sustainable and efficient energy systems.
Impact of Energy Storage on Power Grid Stability
Energy storage systems can balance fluctuations in electricity production and demand. This is especially important for renewable energy sources, which are characterized by high instability.
Zero-Emission Direction: Energy Storage as a Key to Success
Energy storage systems enable increased connection capacities with minimal costs for expanding the power grid. This facilitates the transition to a zero-emission economy by increasing the share of renewable energy in the energy mix and phasing out conventional power generation. This should significantly reduce and stabilize energy prices in the country. The conclusion is clear: energy storage systems are a key element in the renewable energy revolution.
MESH4U Project
Electrum, in collaboration with partners, has introduced an innovative hybrid information-energy system that not only enhances the efficiency of electricity storage but also supports the balancing of renewable energy use. This solution stabilizes energy supplies for the Alu-forst manufacturing facility located near Białystok, which uses its own photovoltaic installation.
The MESH4U project, conducted as part of a European initiative in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute, Wrocław University of Technology, and other international partners, aims to ensure stable electricity supplies for other European factories.
One of the key benefits of implementing a hybrid energy-informatics system is reduced operational costs through optimized energy use and intelligent utilization of renewable energy sources.
Advanced algorithms and data analysis enable this solution to predict energy demand and manage production based on renewable energy availability. As a result, it contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promotes effective use of green energy on an international scale.
Effective Energy Storage System
The MESH4U project also addresses key questions about effective energy storage, becoming increasingly significant in the context of the popularization of green energy sources.
Its international scope and alignment with European energy strategies make it a venture of not only local but also global importance. Co-financed by the National Centre for Research and Development, this project is an important step towards sustainable development and competitiveness in the energy sector.
