Will storage help Portugal achieve its solar and renewable installation goals?
Storage will play a pivotal role if the country hopes to achieve its solar and renewable installation goals, it says. Portugal’s geographical isolation at the western edge of Europe and grid connection issues are hindering the deployment of renewables in the country, according to the latest report by UK-based consulting firm GlobalData.
Why is storage important for the energy transition in Portugal?
With 21 318 GWh of electricity generated in Portugal between January and June - 57% of which of renewable origin - storage will be decisive for the much-desired energy transition for two major reasons. On one hand, storage will offset the intermittent generation of renewable energy.
How much power does Portugal need in ?
For the demand, the Portuguese electricity system reports 50.7 TWh in and an estimated increase to 87 TWh in , which includes e-mobility with 7.8 TWh and hydrogen production with 19.5 TWh, on the top of the regular load of 59.7 TWh. Also, a battery storage system with 2 GW of power and 10 GWh of storage capacity was considered.
Despite the increase in interconnection capacity between Spain and Portugal, it could experience congestions during non-solar hours. Storage can increase self-consumption during non-solar hours, aligned with Portugal’s goals (5,7GW).
Despite the increase in interconnection capacity between Spain and Portugal, it could experience congestions during non-solar hours. Storage can increase self-consumption during non-solar hours, aligned with Portugal’s goals (5,7GW).
The growth of solar and wind generation by could result in 3-5 TWh of curtailment which storage can capture during solar peaks, then discharge to meet evening demand when renewable generation declines. Storage provides real-time flexibility, enabling participation in balancing markets and
The European Green Deal has set the roadmap for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by . Renewable energies are inevitably susceptible to variations in availability, as the sun and wind are not programmable. Energy storage is therefore essential to meet European targets.
Portugal National Climate and Energy Plan presents an ambitious roadmap to decrease CO2 emissions in by 55% compared to levels thanks, among other measures, to an 80% of electricity coming from renewable sources. This presents an opportunity to analyse how the future electrical mix would
