Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess currently available advanced electricity storage systems (ESSs) that are efficient and cost-effective to be able to store electricity generated from intermittent renewable sources such as solar photovoltaics and wind.Weather conditions, electricity demand patterns, and available raw materials were studied to select suitable ESS for Saudi Arabia. It was found that temperatures in Saudi Arabia vary between. 9 and 51. °C, and most of the ESS are sensitive to operating temperatures. A thorough assessment of available technologies pertaining to the advanced ESS for storing electricity generated from renewable energy sources was carried out. The technology assessment was based on key ESS performance parameters such as energy efficiency, energy density, battery life, depth of discharge, charge/discharge rate, commercial maturity, and so on. Cost data in terms of capital cost, per-cycle cost, and maintenance cost were presented.
