The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage). Thermal energy storage systems can be as simple as hot-water tanks, but more advanced technologies can store energy more densely (e.g., molten salts ...
According to the researchers, current lack of suitable batteries would limit profitability in the short term, but crucially, from 2025 onwards, an energy storage system at either facility would become economically viable. From that time, net present value would rise steadily for wind farm A and exponentially for wind farm B up to 2031, they say.
