“…The disadvantages include the cost of water treatment, environmental pollution, uncertainty in many regions of the world due to landscape topology, water problems, geological faults, and small-scale power production. 21 Figure 4 system is to utilize the abundance of energy from natural-flowing rivers to harness energy from reliable renewables (wind and solar) to pump water to the upper reservoir during low-demand periods. During high-demand periods of electrical power, the water is released through some mechanical means to turn a turbine which drives a generator that produce more power to the grid.…”

In this study, the benefits and challenges of existing energy storage systems are presented. The environmental threats and the apparent unreliability of fossil fuel energy sources necessitate the need for alternative sources of electrical power. Energy storage has been sourced from mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, and electrochemical systems. Perhaps, an electrochemical energy storage system, is a better option toward achieving a net zero carbon‐dioxide emission by 2050. Energy storage sources, such as: batteries and supercapacitors, can be reliably fabricated from the hybrid of polymers and two‐dimensional materials for electric vehicles, aviation, and grid load balancing applications. The performances of lithium‐ion batteries are yet to meet the requirements for high‐duty machines and devices. Graphite, the anode of lithium‐ion batteries, suffers from low capacity and high volume‐expansion, resulting in cracking and fracture of the electrodes. Herein, based on evidence from literature, this study suggests substituting graphite with polymer nanocomposite or metal‐oxide nanocomposites such as: conducting polymers, copper oxide, and graphene. This approach, giving attention to these materials' excellent electrochemical, thermal, electrical, mechanical, and redox properties, offers possible ways to overcome the limited limitations confronting lithium‐ion battery technology.

“…In addition, under the TE scenario, hydropower reaches 38.47 GW, with mini-hydropower contributing 30%, pumped hydro energy storage providing 18%, and large hydropower accounting for the remaining 7%. Delivering power when demand is high and storing it when generation is high, pumped storage hydropower can guarantee the stabilization of the electrical grid and the energy time-shifting of renewable energy intermittency (Ali et al, 2021). The relocation of many villages is a necessary social cost for large hydropower projects.…”

The objective of this work is to evaluate long-term energy demand and supply decarbonization in Indonesia. On the demand side, electric vehicles and biofuels for transportation and induction stoves and urban gas networks for households were considered. Based on the National Energy Policy, primary energy supply projections optimized NRE power plant use and increase NRE's position in the national energy mix. A Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) model evaluates 2020–2050 energy demand predictions and low-carbon energy systems. This study's sustainable transition options require two basic technical advances. First, electric vehicles and induction stoves would reduce oil fuel usage by 228.34 million BOE and LPG consumption by 24.65 million BOE. Second, power generation should be decarbonized using NRE sources such as solar, hydro, biomass, geothermal, and nuclear. In 2050, solar power (40 GW), hydropower (38.47 GW), geothermal power (10 GW), and other NRE (24.45 GW, 18.67 GW of which would be biomass power) would dominate NRE electrical capacity. Biomass co-firing for coal power plants would reach 36.35 million tons in 2050. In 2035, the Java-Bali or West Kalimantan system will deploy 1 GW of nuclear power reactors, rising to 4 GW by 2050. Under the Transition Energy (TE) scenario, by 2025 and 2050, new and renewable energy would make up 23% and 31% of the primary energy mix, respectively, reducing GHG emissions per capita. According to predictions, annual GHG emissions per capita will decline from the BAU scenario's 4.48 tonne CO2eq/capita in 2050 to the TE scenario's 4.1 tonne.

“…Energy storage using pumped hydro is mature and an established technology with utility-scale application [26][27][28]. However, it is characterized by high capital costs with low profitability, which is a barrier to its development in certain cases for utility-scale [29]. In addition, it is very dependent on local topography and landscapes.…”
