Abstract
Abstract With the falling cost of renewable energy sources (RES) and the political and public push to decarbonise our societies, the growth of renewable power generation capacity is increasing (CCC, 2019; COP, 2015). This shift from reliable fossil fuel power generation to intermittent and variable RES does lead to some challenges. Indeed, to ensure that this transition operates in a way which ensures the energy system stability is maintained, it is necessary to adapt much more than just the means of generating power. The move towards RES requires the improvement of implementation technologies and best practice. These include, energy storage, more efficient energy use, and energy demand management. Although short-term variations in the generation capacity of RES is manageable with either of the two latter options, energy storage is the only real solution for seasonal variations. The reason being that simply expecting people to not heat or cool their homes is unfeasible.
