Are battery storage and Grid Modernization important for solar energy?

1. Introduction

Are energy storage and Batteries Included in the new EU policy?

However, energy storage and batteries are barely mentioned in this new policy . The EU wants to encourage the purchase and use of zero- and low-emission vehicles (ZLEV) with a super credits systems that will apply to passenger cars with emissions of less than 50 g CO2/km (NEDC) in the years 2020 to 2022 .

Can international battery policies be benchmarked?

In this context, an international comparison between the different battery policy strategies of the leading countries is helpful – and now part of a new Fraunhofer ISI study entitled »Benchmarking International Battery Policies«.

Are battery storage and Grid Modernization important for solar energy?

While battery storage and grid modernization are crucial for expanding solar capacity, they are especially urgent in regions with variable sunlight and underdeveloped grids. For instance, Chile and Australia face integration challenges of intermittent solar energy without substantial investments in energy storage and smart grid technologies.

Are countries adapting their political strategies for battery technology?

Countries worldwide are renewing or adapting their political strategies for battery technologies. In this context, a new Fraunhofer ISI report is analysing the different battery policies and targets with focus on three fields of battery technology research: Lithium-ion, solid-state, and alternative batteries.

Which countries have a cycle life target for alternative batteries?

Three countries set a cycle life target for alternative batteries beyond 2030, for different types of batteries (Japan for zinc-anode and fluoride batteries (EVs/PHEVs use) and the EU for metal-air batteries, China’s KPI did not specify the type of battery), but with the same value (at least 2,000 cycles23).

How can international cooperation help harmonise solar standards & policies?

Harmonizing Solar Standards and Policies: International cooperation can also facilitate the harmonization of solar standards, making it easier to transfer technology across borders.
