Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, is a set of technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed.
Under some conditions, excess renewable energy is produced and, without storage, is curtailed 2, 3; under others, demand is greater than generation from renewables. Grid-scale energy-storage (GSES) systems are therefore needed to store excess renewable energy to be released on demand, when power generation is insufficient 4.
Grid-scale storage refers to technologies connected to the power grid that can store energy and then supply it back to the grid at a more advantageous time – for example, at night, when no solar power is available, or during a weather event that disrupts electricity generation.
The rise in renewable energy utilization is increasing demand for battery energy-storage technologies (BESTs). BESTs based on lithium-ion batteries are being developed and deployed. However, this technology alone does not meet all the requirements for grid-scale energy storage.
Stakeholders in Jordan's construction industry were asked to assess their degree of awareness and knowledge of green building and sustainability, based on their own experiences and understanding, to get insight into how well-informed they are.
As a solution to the lack of sustainable construction in Jordan, manufacturers and suppliers of building materials, and program and project developers, are recommended to invest in environmentally friendly buildings and materials and recycle construction and demolition waste . 5. Conclusions
Results from the interviews showed several reasons for the low adoption of sustainable building practices in Jordan, including lack of knowledge and education, lack of support from stakeholders, and limited rehabilitation and scientific research .
Jordan's private and public sectors' perceptions of green building construction in Jordan can be influenced by the findings of this study, which helps promote the notion of sustainable building construction in Jordan to the research participants.
