Aim: The aim of this paper is to explore Energy Storage requirements and options suit the needs systems transport fed from renewables. variability wind solar sources in particular demand for energy are seen as key issues.
 Design / Research methods: outlines need storage compares density power a selection options.
 Conclusions findings: results illustrate difficulties finding mechanisms rival fossil fuels both density. Moreover natural resources provide sufficient will be serious challenge even though economic costs falling..
 Originality value article: article demonstrates importance successful development renewable systems, physical characteristics that such schemes should have.
 Implications research: topic given high priority research development.
 Limitations This not comprehensive review best practice internationally would valuable extension work.
