Pathways to 100% Renewable Energy in Island Systems: A
This question focuses on evaluating the potential of different energy storage solutions, such as battery energy storage systems, hydrogen storage, pumped hydro storage, and flywheels, in
3.2. Energy Storage Technologies and Their Role in Island Energy Systems Energy storage is widely recognized as a crucial facilitator of high renewable energy penetration in island systems [70, 71]. This thematic area explores different storage solutions, including BESSs, hydrogen storage, PHS, and flywheels.
Energy Storage Applications in Specific Case Studies Numerous specific case studies have demonstrated how ESSs can be successfully applied in island systems to facilitate renewable energy integration and enhance grid stability.
The study suggests that interconnecting smaller island systems can provide significant benefits, including reduced energy costs and improved reliability. Reunion Island has set an ambitious goal to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2030, using a comprehensive approach that combines solar, wind, and advanced energy storage technologies.
Centrally managed storage facilities in island power systems dominate the relevant literature. Table 4 includes the papers dealing with the centrally managed storage concept. Table S2 of the Supplementary data and Fig. 7 present additional details for the most representative ones.
