Energy Storage Solutions
Technologies enabling energy storage at various timescales (4 hours to seasonal) including batteries, pumped hydro, hydrogen, and compressed air.
Real World
The UK's Highview Power plant in Manchester uses liquid air energy storage to store off-peak wind energy for 8+ hours, demonstrating medium-term storage beyond lithium-ion battery capability.
Exam Focus
For 'assess' questions, distinguish storage duration categories (short/medium/seasonal) and link each to specific renewable intermittency problems.
