Spyros Foteinis highlights the acknowledged problem that an insufficient capacity to store energy can result in generated renewable energy being wasted (Nature 632, 29; 2024). But the risks for power-system security of the converse problem — excessive energy storage — have been mostly overlooked.
[pdf] At Ouagadougou Polytechnic, researchers are cracking the code on sustainable energy solutions that could light up entire villages. Think of energy storage as the peanut butter to solar power’s jelly – one’s useless without the other in our quest for 24/7 renewable energy.
[pdf] Uzbekistan has great potential for solar energy due to its high levels of solar radiation and large areas of barren land that can be used for solar power plants. The country receives an average of around 300 sunny days per year, making it an ideal location for solar power generation.
