6 FAQs about [Alberta energy storage]
Why are energy storage prices so high in Alberta?
Industry watchers say there are other reasons for optimism about the future of energy storage in Alberta. Part of the reason electricity prices have been so high in Alberta lately is that a small number of companies control a large chunk of the generation, allowing them to raise their offer prices during periods of high demand.
What is energy storage?
Energy storage is a relatively new concept when it comes to Alberta's electricity grid, but it's something we're all familiar in our day-to-day lives. Whether it's cellphones, laptops, or electric cars, we routinely charge up our devices when we're not using them so the electricity can be deployed when we want, later on.
How can energy be stored in Calgary?
And one other method of storing energy is also being considered in the province: compressed air. Calgary-based Federation Engineering has proposed a 320-MW facility near Cold Lake that would store energy by compressing air in underground salt caverns, then release that energy by letting the air decompress through turbines to produce electricity.
Why is energy storage important?
Energy storage also offers some technical advantages, especially as more and more renewable energy has come online. One reason the Alberta government cited for its renewable-energy pause was the intermittent nature of wind and solar power, which has created concerns over grid reliability.
What type of energy storage is used by enfinite?
Batteries like those used by Enfinite are a common type of energy storage, but not the only one. Pumped hydro is another commonly used method to defer the deployment of electricity to more favourable times. In essence, this technology uses power during low-demand periods to pump water from a lower reservoir to a higher-altitude reservoir.
Is energy storage becoming more popular?
Enfinite CEO Jason White speaks to CBC News in an interview. (Google Meet/Screenshot) "Energy storage as a whole is becoming increasingly popular," said Jason White, Enfinite's chief executive officer.
