PEAK PERFORMANCE: BALANCING THE GRID WITH RENEWABLES STORAGE

摘要

Our power system is embarking on significant changes that may require storage to be as necessary in the electricity industry as it is in every other type of industry operating today. One area where energy storage may become a necessity is with the integration of renewables into the electricity grid. As more systems look to adopt renewable generation into the electricity system, the network can become more difficult to balance. Before the advent of renewables, variability was evident only in the load. Now, as increasing amounts of renewable generation are added to the grid, variability is introduced to the supply side as well, making the system more unpredictable.
