The Role of Large‐Scale Energy Storage Under High Shares of Renewable Energy

Nanosized high entropy spinel oxide (FeCoNiCrMn)3O4 as a highly active and ultra-stable electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction

“…In recent years, hydrogen production by water splitting has been widely studied because of the abundant resources, the non-polluting products and high efficiency. 4–6 The anodic oxygen evolution reaction of water splitting involves a four-electron transfer process and usually causes a high overpotential and a large kinetic energy barrier, which is why it is considered to be the rate-limiting step for the entire water splitting reaction. 7,8 In order to improve the efficiency of water splitting, noble metal oxide catalysts (RuO 2 , IrO 2 ) are often adopted, but the high price, low resource abundance and poor stability of noble metal oxides restrict their large-scale application in industrial production.…”

Development of a Solar Forecasting Model based on Ground Data in Wide Area Using Neural Networks

“…Renewable energy output, on the other hand, is irregular, largely dependent on location, weather, time of day, and season. From the point of view of power grid stabilization, especially frequency stabilization, mitigation of output fluctuations is essential to ensure a stable supply from power plants to end users (2)- (3) . The use of energy storage technologies such as storage batteries is also being considered for the absorption of fluctuations, but hydropower and thermal power generation, especially gas turbines, which can also follow loads at high speeds, are still a major utilities.…”

Compressed air storage: Opportunities and sustainability issues

“…However, full‐scale storage technologies can diminish the difference between a valley and peak demands to increase the efficacy of generation facilities. Undoubtedly, energy storage assumes an important role in the internet energy and smart grid and is becoming a popular topic in advanced energy research 4,5 . There are numerous energy storage techniques, counting pumped storage, chemical battery, and CAES 4,5 …”
