DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRICITY STORAGE SYSTEMS: NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR EASTERN COUNTRIES

An important part of the current world's energy transition is the emergence of the electricity storage sector in the energy complex, which rationalizes and optimizes energy production, transportation, distribution and consumption making operation of grids stable, economical and safe. Energy storage is actually an alternative to construction of new power stations. When developed, the energy storage sector will give oriental countries an opportunity to avoid braking the accelerated economic growth of their backward energy sector as compared to leading industries. New productive forces in energy will make it possible to substantially reduce the negative consequences of the shortage of some energy resources as well as put an end to «energy curse».
