There are two major motivations: (i) to store decentral generated excess electricity, e.g. from PV; and (ii) to help to keep the system in balance with respect to supply security. Here we solely focus on the first aspect. In 2018, the worldwide expansion of storage capacity again increased rapidly.
Currently in the U.S. there is about 24.6 GW of grid storage, with about 95% of it as pumped storage hydro, due to its larger unit sizes and longer history as the technology of choice. This is approximately 2.3% of total electric production capacity, and is a lower fraction than in Europe or Japan. In order to achieve 20% renewable generation ...
