By 2030, Chile is seeking to supply 70% of its total energy consumption with renewable energy sources, and aims to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Though its nightly solar shortfalls are currently plugged by fossil fuel generation, the country has pledged to close its remaining coal-fired power plants by 2040..
Today, energy can be stored in multiple ways, including using banks of large-scale batteries, which can store electricity before it is injected back into national grids. Though lithium-ion batteries are the most efficient on the market, the wider use of lead or sodium alternatives could be just around the corner..
This gigantic solar thermal energy storage tank holds enough stored sunlight to generate 1,100 MWh/day from stored solar power. The cheapest way to store solar energy over many hours, such as the five to seven hour evening. .
Ahead of next year’s World Energy Congress in Rotterdam, Claudio Seebach, regional vice-chair, Latin America & Caribbean at the World Energy Council, explains how countries can learn valuable lessons from Chile when it comes to increasing energy storage deployment and accelerating the energy transition.
Transmission lines must be supplemented with batteries to store energy. “Storage is critical. If solar energy does not fit into the grid, installing a battery makes all the sense in the world: we store the energy during the day and transmit it at night. With that, we de-stress the grid,” he adds. [pdf]
