Increasing urgency around energy storage solutions. Operating a reliable low-carbon power system means that energy storage is imperative – and AEMO also makes this clear. It says building the energy storage to manage daily and seasonal variations in solar and wind generation is the most pressing need of the next decade.
The term barrier, as used in this report, is broadly defined as an issue that hinders deployment of energy storage technologies. In some instances, a barrier may prevent deployment; and in others, it may limit deployment, limit revenue or limit consideration for deployment.
Despite the benefits of battery storage, there do remain a number of barriers to widespread adoption. Regulatory policy tends to lag behind changes in the evolving sector, although there are some positive signs that regulators and legislators are seeking to make policy changes that will benefit the industry.
Though there are a number of regulatory and market barriers preventing the increased deployment of energy storage technologies, the primary barrier to deployment is high capital costs.
The barriers are broadly categorized into regulatory barriers, market (economic) barriers, utility and developer business model barriers, cross-cutting barriers that cross the different categories, and technology barriers specific to energy storage technical performance and capabilities.
Lastly, battery storage has lower transmission costs on the discharge side and can also be provided either as an integrated part of generation facilities being developed, an addition to existing generation facilities or on a stand-alone basis. Despite the benefits of battery storage, there do remain a number of barriers to widespread adoption.
