Key results of modelling the use of Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) in the Spanish power system. Lower power system costs. Higher utilisation of renewable energy.
According to data from Spanish solar energy association UNEF, around 495 MWh of behind-the-meter storage capacity was installed in Spain in 2023, with
We''re excited to announce the launch of Solar & Storage Live Barcelona! Due to the increased demand in Europe, we decided it''s time to create another forward-thinking, challenging and exciting renewable energy exhibition that celebrates the technologies at the forefront of the transition to a greener, smarter, more decentralised energy system.
The Spanish government on Tuesday approved the energy storage strategy, targeting some 20 GW of storage capacity in 2030 and reaching 30 GW by 2050 from today''s 8.3 GW. Storage that is currently available in Spain comes mainly from pumped hydro and concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, to which the government
A power system with 15 GW of Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) by 2050 accumulates a total system cost advantage of around 1 Bn € (2025-2060) compared to a scenario without LDES.

Introduction The ''hydrogen economy'' can be defined broadly as a long term project capable to combine the cleanliness of hydrogen (H 2) as an energy carrier with the efficiency of fuel-cells (FCs) to convert the energy in electricity, heat or motion.However, H 2 – as electricity – is not an energy resource and must be obtained
As a result, shorter duration storage options like batteries are more suitable in Spain. In Spain, over 50% of excess renewable energy occurs in periods where there is continuous excess for less than 12 hours i.e. a battery that chooses to charge on this energy would be able to discharge within 12 hours. This allows batteries to charge and
Since 2022, non-compensated grid curtailment has significantly impacted renewable energy across Spain. The costs for managing the grid skyrocketed in 2023, exceeding 2 billion €. More notably, non-compensated curtailments accounted for over 1% of total renewable generation in both 2022 and 2023. These curtailments, however, vary by location

The large deployment of PV power planned in Spain for 2030 will strongly affect electricity spot price if participating in the diary electricity market. In addition, energy storage will be most probably necessary to enhance renewable sources manageability, to match electric demand balancing the grid and to guarantee electricity supply security.
Proof of this interest in the Spanish market is the company''s choice of location to host its PowerTitan 2.0 Experience Day in Madrid – which Energy-storage.news attended – earlier this month, showcasing its latest product in energy storage systems to the European scene, where it targets to deploy hundreds of MWh of storage with Power
