Get a quoteWhile energy storage technologies are still at a relatively early stage of deployment in Canada, many energy storage technologies are either already in operation or in development. The electricity produced by wind energy and solar energy can be converted and stored through various means:
There are three main types of energy storage currently commercially available in Canada: Storage is playing an increasingly important role in the electricity system by improving grid reliability and power quality, and by complementing variable renewable energy sources (VRES) like wind and solar.
BESS is the fastest growing energy storage technology in Canada and is also the dominant storage technology in terms of capacity and number of sites. All but four projects proposed to be commissioned by 2030 are battery storage, with two CAES and two PHS projects also proposed.
At the time of this being written, there is currently energy storage installed in four provinces in Canada: Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan & PEI. There are several additional projects slotted for development in these provinces in the coming years, as well as in New Brunswick & Nova Scotia. Can energy storage technology work with all fuel sources?
While there are nearly 50 energy storage projects currently listed within the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO)’s projects list, the development of a 600MW portfolio of five solar-plus-storage projects by Westbridge Renewable Energy Corp. is underway.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are tools that store electrical energy. Within Canada, all energy storage projects currently under construction are BESS. Proposed and under-construction projects have a power range between 1 MW and 411 MW, with an average storage capacity range of 0.5 hours to 6 hours.
