6 FAQs about [Australia s new energy storage policy]

Which energy storage technology is best for Australia's energy needs?

The CEC said emerging LDES technologies coupled with the energy storage systems in place, would be the best suite to appropriately manage Australia’s needs. In March this year, the ARENA held an Insights Forum which covered energy storage and technologies that can bring system security to the grid.

Does Australia need a whole-of-government energy transition strategy?

Australia’s energy transition will require a whole-of-government just energy transition strategy at both federal and state and territory levels, boosting job opportunities and skills for the transition and securing the social licence to construct and operate the necessary infrastructure.

What are the applications for energy storage and current limitations?

Applications for energy storage and current limitations are outlined as: Major grids: These will need a substantial storage capacity as dispatchable generation leaves the grid. It will need to be of varying durations to be able to deal with changes in supply and demand.

Will Australian households embrace batteries at home?

There is likely much to be gleaned from the rollout of the federal government’s program, which will deploy 400 community-scale batteries serving up to 100,000 households across Australia. And we don’t yet know whether households will embrace batteries at home as enthusiastically as they put solar panels on their rooves.

Will Australia need a carbon-heavy energy system to support VRE?

It could potentially mean Australia would need to keep carbon-heavy technologies to provide stable energy to support VRE. Current LDES technology is a potential solution for Australia’s clean energy transition because of its ability to discharge energy continuously for eight hours or longer.

Does Australia need large-scale hydrogen storage?

Hydrogen: Large-scale storage would be required if Australia is to meet its hydrogen export ambitions. Hydrogen storage could also play a role in decarbonising heavy-duty vehicles, but it is still emerging. Maturity
