Abstract

Embedded Energy Storage (EES) is an innovative idea presented in a previous paper. EES is associated with some major configurations of wind power generation and rechargeable batteries. Areas for further research are identified, but before resources are committed it is necessary to assess the likely benefits of ESS. In this paper, the technical and economic potential of the EES are evaluated from the viewpoint of (1) historical and future development of electrical power systems, and (2) globalisation of CO2 emission reduction and global wind energy utilisation. The evaluation uses four case studies relevant to the United Kingdom and around the world. Based on this work, a practical and low-risk methodology for research and development into this new area is proposed.
