Indonesia is scattered over many islands and expanding at lightning speed on both the economic front as well as population side. Unfortunately, this growth comes with an increased requirement for the energy necessary to power homes and businesses. However, the current environmentally harmful methods of producing energy -such as burning fossil fuels- are used in many countries and have caused great damage to the environment causing diseases due to environmental pollution (impact on health). Hence, it is extremely important to switch on cleaner and renewable energy resources. On the other hand, one of the most important hurdles for this transition is how to store all that renewal energy effectively. Here is the review of top 10 renewable power energy storage solutions in Indonesia
The Importance of Using Energy Storage Solutions in Indonesia
Indonesia government has planned that 23% of the energy will be derived from renewable sources by 2025. The ambitious goal seeks to cut damaging greenhouse gas emissions, bolster energy security and promote economic and social growth around the country. In order to provide for such an objective however, you need robust energy storage options. There are many energy storage methods available in Indonesia meletakkan beberapa:
Lithium-ion Battery: Used generally for electric storage, these batteries have become popular to be used in portable electronic equipment together with electrical bicycles due to its high energy density, longevity and minimal care requirements.
Flow Batteries: Flow batteries capture stored energy as a liquid, which means that they can store power at very high capacities.
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) - Compressing air and storing it in underground containers which release the air upon demand to generate power.
Thermal Energy Storage (TES): This system stores energy in materials with high heat retention properties like salt or water and the stored thermal energy can be released when user needs it for power generation, heating/cooling purposes.
Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES): This system stores energy when water is moved to the higher reservoirs and then used as a source of power via the flowing water.
Adopting these energy storage solutions would also be setting the stage for a greener future and potentially cleaner transition to renewable energys in Indonesia.
