How can renewable storage technology transform Australia?
Renewable storage technologies have the potential to revolutionise clean and reliable energy access in remote communities, support cost-effective decarbonisation in industry and transform Australia into a green hydrogen export superpower.
What is pumped hydro energy storage?
Pumped hydro energy storage is “nature’s battery” and its ability to act as a long-term bulk storage facility, while delivering many of the grid regulating functions similarly provided by coal-fired power stations, makes it a critical part of the future energy system.
Will WaterNSW-land support pumped hydro energy storage projects?
Following a competitive tender process, WaterNSW provided three developers with access to complete on-site studies that explore the feasibility of Pumped Hydro Energy Storage projects on WaterNSW-land. Projects underway include: Western Sydney Pumped Hydro Project at Lake Burragorang, being developed by ZEN Energy.
How many solar projects are in development in Australia?
The Sydney-headquartered developer, which has backing from Germany’s Pelion Green Future, has an estimated 8 GW of large-scale solar PV, wind and battery energy storage projects in development in Australia.
Why do we need balancing energy storage technologies in Australia?
Increasing gap between maximum and minimum operational demand in Australia call for urgent need of balancing storage technologies. Fast response hybrid battery-supercapacitor energy storage are deemed prudent solution for the transition period, while PHES and Hydrogen are for long-term storage
How much hydro storage is available in QLD?
QLD currently has only a nominal 6.4 GWh pumped hydro storage currently available for emergency use if the upper pondage storages are fully refilled. Another challenge unique to Australia is the NEM's longest radial transmission network of about km from QLD to SA.
