Taking Storage Heaters into 2015

Storage Heaters, it’s fair to say, do not have the most fashionable reputation. Even the name is distinctly old-fashioned – the word ‘storage’ itself conjuring up images of dusty attics filled with box upon box of ancient mementos put away on a Sunday afternoon to be forgotten forever. In today’s fast-paced modern world where everything is available on demand, the concept of a heating system that you have to programme a day in advance, hoping the weather comes as predicted, seems as up-to-date as crystal balls and fortune cookies. Storage Heaters belong with black-and-white televisions, wind-up gramophones and telegrams – in the past. Right?

Let’s bust some myths about storage heaters

Storage heaters, for many years, have been seen largely as an expensive and inefficient alternative to other methods of heating your home. By far, a gas central heating system is still the most prevalent in the UK, but with gas prices constantly on the rise and the UK becoming evermore dependent on imports, people are starting to consider electric heating alternatives. Stylish, designer electric radiators have boomed in popularity, largely due to the sheer efficiency and level of control they offer, but where does the new technology fit in with storage heaters? Don’t rule them out yet…

Can We Benefit From Low Carbon Energy With Such Limited Storage Resources?

Some academics have announced that the UK is in need of an ‘energy revolution’. The constant drive to keep prices low, combined with the challenges of producing low carbon energy and meeting the need for new capacity, are pushing the country to breaking point. The energy value chain is undergoing an intense rebalance, and it’s difficult to know which of our cards to play in order get a safe future energy mix. There’s a lot of focus on low-carbon energy at the moment, but shouldn’t we be addressing the issue of storage first and foremost?

Energy storage is essential to the UK’s future goals

At the moment the UK has no discernible incentive to develop an effective energy storage infrastructure, but experts are warning that they’re going to need one soon if they are to reach emission reduction targets and ‘cleaning’ its electricity supply. Without a viable energy storage system, it’s unlikely that we’ll hit our current target of 20 Gigawatts of solar generation by 2020. Many households are utilising solar, and taking advantage of more energy efficient electric heating solutions, but why is energy storage on a national scale so important?

Two UK companies lead innovation in energy storage with £8m boost

In light of the UK’s insistent pursuit of shale gas extraction and a questionable lack of funding for renewable energy development, it’s welcoming to hear some good news come from energy minister Greg Barker. Today, he announced that two leading energy storage companies had been given a grant of £8 million as part of the DECC’s ‘innovation competition’ to further research and development in the field. So how do the companies plan on using the funding?

Storage is the key to a viable future with renewable energy

In order for current renewable technologies to provide a solid foundation for energy supply in the future, we need to master the technology behind energy storage. Storage needs to play a bigger part in our energy grid and until this is the case, relying on renewable energy sources like wind and solar will remain a very distant target.
