New Energy Storage Systems Nov 24 - Syrian Arab News Agency Alberta Innovates - Energy and Environment Solutions (AI-EES) has launched a CAD2 million ( USD1.8 M) funding to develop most promising technologies for grid-scale energy storage in Alberta . AI-EES has released a Call for Expressions of Interests for what they call Next Generation Energy Storage Technologies in order to accelerate the deployment of intermittent renewable electricity in Alberta, Canada . The call for proposals is seeking technology solutions with the greatest potential to offer cost-effective bulk energy storage on Albertas interconnected electricity grid. Despite not being aimed toward particualr technology, the call is intended to meet certain characteristics such as: high round-trip efficiency, including electricity stored and all other energy inputs; scalability to reach multi-MW scale; high storage capacity, or ability to store many hours of energy; high life cycle, with minimal performance degradation and low cost, including capital operating costs. The call also sets up the scope including lab and bench-scale proof-of-concept demonstration projects, prototype development, small-scale pilot facilities and feasibility analysis or engineering design. A further development of renewable energy could help Alberta meet its climate change goals with a target of 20% of electricity coming from renewable sources by 2030 and an energy storage capacity of 2.5% the total electricity generation. Thermal energy storage systems developed in Concentrated Solar Power plants could be an interesting approach to be developed through this program. Proposals will be accepted from anywhere globally. However, applicants must demonstrate that the technology is applicable and well-suited for grid-scale energy storage on Albertas interconnected electric system. In addition, applicants must demonstrate how the technology will be transferred to Alberta during or after the project and how it will be implemented for the benefit of Alberta .
