Our study finds that energy storage can help VRE-dominated electricity systems balance electricity supply and demand while maintaining reliability in a cost-effective manner — that in turn can support the electrification of many end-use activities beyond the electricity sector."
The transition to renewable power sources like solar and wind requires new methods of energy storage. Clouds can obscure the sun for days at a time, and solar is completely unavailable at night; wind can be even more fickle. Storage gets us through unavoidable generation gaps and covers localized surges in power use.
Energy storage can smooth out or firm wind- and solar-farm output; that is, it can reduce the variability of power produced at a given moment. The incremental price for firming wind power can be as low as two to three cents per kilowatt-hour. Solar-power firming generally costs as much as ten cents per kilowatt-hour, because solar farms ...
