The most popular methods of electric energy storage are described, with an indication of the features of each technology, along with the presentation of the advantages and disadvantages of a given storage reservoir. Next, hybrid energy storage systems are presented along with their suggested applications and advantages resulting from the
The new rules create an opportunity for Poland to create a broad energy storage industry, PSME''s president said, from the development of technologies and products to the creation of jobs. In the main power market auction in 2022, battery energy storage was contracted for the first time - 165 MW to be exact.
PGE''s unique on a European scale energy storage project in Żarnowiec with a capacity of no less than 200 MW has obtained the first license promise in Poland for electricity storage in a large-scale electrochemical energy storage facility.
For more than a decade, other types of RES have been developed in Poland, including bioenergy, solar power and, most of all, wind power. The renewable energy sector in Poland has been increasing and developing dynamically. In 2016, renewable energy accounted for 13.3% of Poland''s total consumption and was mostly generated from biomass.

This article is part of our special report Atom, blackout, dekarbonizacja, OZE: Wszystko co trzeba wiedzieć o transformacji energetycznej.
Along with the rising prices of energy from fossil sources and the global trend towards climate transformation, renewable energy sources are gaining on popularity in Poland and other European countries. However, the disadvantage of renewable energy, especially compared to carbon, is its limited stability and controllability. Renewables are very much dependent on weather conditions, such as wind and sun.
That is why energy storage comes as such an important solution. They enable to increase the stability of the RES-based system, which translates into energy security.
"Energy storage, moderately important in the current power system based on stable coal-fired power plants, is becoming a key element in the pending energy transition. The new energy mix will be increasingly based on clean, renewable, future-proof sources, which are, however, rather unstable ", points out Jan Ruszkowski, communication specialist at the Polish Green Network.
"Everyone – from households to industry – would like electricity to be available exactly when we need it. Although we obtain energy relatively easily, it is much more difficult to store it until the moment when it is in greatest demand”, he says.
„In order to avoid the most catastrophic consequences of the climate crisis, but also taking into account economic factors and the climate policy of the European Union, the heat energy will have to be replaced by the renewables, with a whole set of modern supporting solutions. One of the key elements of this set will be energy storage", says Marta Gregorczyk from Greenpeace Polska.
With the new „Fit for 55 Package” coming along, we invited the MEP Michael Bloss to discuss whether the reforms planned by the EU are ambitious enough to fight the climate crisis.
Storing energy as such is nothing new. Some of the technologies serving this purpose, such as lead-acid batteries, are already a hundred years old. Energy is stored both in pumped storage plants, as well as in common batteries used in devices (e.g. mobile phones) or vehicles.
There are various types of energy storage available on the market: mechanical storage, including pumped storage power plants, compressed air storage and flywheels, electrochemical (accumulators and rechargeable batteries), chemical (fuel cells, hydrogen storage), thermal storage (heat accumulation) and electric storage (supercapacitors). Energy storage also divides into direct storage (magnetic and electric field) and indirect storage (conversion of electric energy into another type of energy, e.g. chemical potential and kinetic).
The first of the mentioned types has the largest share in the world market. Pumped storage plants are responsible for over 95 percent of worldwide energy storage capacity. .
The solution used most commonly in households is the electrochemical method of energy conversion, while large photovoltaic farms generally use mechanical and chemical storage of solar energy.
Pumped storage plants have the largest power range among the various types of energy storage. The largest power plant of this type in the world has approximately 3 GW of capacity, and in Poland – slightly over 700 MW.
They work in a daily and seasonal cycle, which is important especially for long-term energy storage. Their use effectively increases the stability of energy supplies. What’s more, this type of storage works very well in the face of a blackout threat. In crisis situations, pumped storage plants are able to start high power and thus prevent power cuts.
On the other hand, they take up a lot of space. This limits the freedom in choosing the location for this type of infrastructure so that they work in synergy with RES. The topography is also important. However, low operating and operational costs speak for this type of energy storage.

Another energy storage technology that can be used in renewable energy, especially in wind farms, is flywheel energy storage. They store kinetic energy. As Aleksander Tetyn from BiznesAlert.pl explains, the flywheel accelerates during the loading phase, and when it is unloaded, it brakes. Flywheel storage a very small power range: 0.1 to 20 MW. Its advantage is efficiency exceeding 90 percent. and long service life (approx. 20 years.
Energy can also be stored by using hydrogen as an energy carrier. „Due to its characteristics, H2 in its pure form has an extremely high energy density, which is up to five times higher than the energy from hard coal”, points BiznesAlert.pl, adding that thanks to its properties and the possibility of electrolysis, excess energy from renewable energy sources can be used to produce zero-emission hydrogen, which in turn will allow for energy storage, for example in transport or industry.
