Short-term storage can provide system services for power quality, whereas medium-term storage allows to shift significant amounts of energy over some hours up to days. Seasonal or long-term storage can, for example, be provided by the power-to-gas technology. Significant amounts of storage will be necessary, especially when a fully renewable supply is approached. New mechanisms are needed to ensure anticipatorily that sufficient flexibility is in the system at any time.}, language = {en} }
