Storage Lab
Energy storage is one of the enablers of the low carbon energy transition. Markets are growing rapidly as prices fall, and so storage is attracting attention worldwide. Businesses, policymakers and academics alike need to understand the wide range of storage technologies, the applications they can serve in, and the methods, data and tools to evaluate their current and future economic potential.
This book combines rigorous methods with rich datasets to provide objective and transparent evidence on the cost reduction potentials and the value that energy storage can provide across low-carbon electricity systems and clean transportation. Clear and authoritative explanations are supported by a practical online platform that empowers readers to conduct their own bespoke economic assessments.
