UK research needs in grid scale energy storage technologies

This white paper provides a concise guide to key technology options for grid scale energy storage, with the aim of informing stakeholders in industry, government and the funding agencies of the opportunities and need for underpinning research into both current and emerging technologies for grid scale storage applications. The paper has been produced in recognition of both the need for cost effective, durable and safe grid scale energy storage solutions (across a wide range of power and energy levels) to support future low carbon energy systems and the need for underpinning research into new ideas and concepts to support the development and subsequent deployment of both emerging and new energy storage options.
