However, there are quite a number of challenges that hinder the integration and proper implementation of large-scale storage of renewable energy systems. One of the foremost issues is the capital-intensive nature of the rudiments of a storage device such as batteries, pumped hydro storage, and compressed air storage among others.
The challenges of large-scale energy storage application in power systems are presented from the aspect of technical and economic considerations. Meanwhile the development prospect of global energy storage market is forecasted, and application prospect of energy storage is analyzed.
Even if the energy storage has many prospective markets, high cost, insufficient subsidy policy, indeterminate price mechanism and business model are still the key challenges.
The lack of direct support for energy storage from governments, the non-announcement of confirmed needs for storage through official government sources, and the existence of incomplete and unclear processes in licensing also hurt attracting investors in the field of storage (Ugarte et al.).
The development and expansion of energy storage technology not only depend on the improvement in storage characteristics, operational control and management strategy, but also requires the cost reduction and the supports from long-term, positive stable market and policy to guide and support the healthy development of energy storage industry.
