Finally, my thesis is now submitted!! The subject I chose was “Technological Assessment and Policy Recommendations for Large-scale Peak-shaving Energy Storage in Grids with a High Proportion of Renewable Energy“. At the beginning of my thesis, it was going to be very technical, then I thought - that’s been well covered. Then I moved to the business case of energy storage. For peak-shaving energy storage, there isn’t THAT much movement - often I read “in 5 years time this will be big” from studies in like, 2001 - but nothing yet.
So I’ve decided to analyze the part that can help pave the way towards deployment - the policy framework. The main part of this thesis was analyzing the currently already available renewable energy policies - and from these extract the learnings and see how the policy instruments and policy design criteria might be suitable for future energy storage policies.
