4 FAQs about Large-scale cost of outdoor energy storage cabinets for Australian mines

What types of energy storage are available in Australia?

Compressed air, thermal energy and redox flow batteries are just some of the alternative forms of long duration energy storage available in Australia. These technologies bring remarkable energy carrying capabilities, helping to maintain reliability while minimising the cost of the transition.

Do mines need a large-scale energy storage solution?

Renewable energy generation also depends heavily on the location of the mine, with certain areas better suited for wind or solar power generation. Regardless, all mines will need large-scale energy storage solutions to ensure reliability, further adding to the cost and complexity of renewable power integration.

Is there a future for energy storage in Australia?

There is more to come. As demand for energy storage grows, new solutions are rapidly emerging. Compressed air, thermal energy and redox flow batteries are just some of the alternative forms of long duration energy storage available in Australia.

Can long-term energy storage replace coal generating assets?

It is therefore critical to begin work now on developing the storage portfolio that is critical to replacing these coal generating assets. Long duration energy storage technologies reduce the reliance on GPG to maintain reliability, while enabling further reductions in carbon emissions.
