Smart Grid Storage Needs To Keep Pace With Renewables
A Stanford research team determined that the 100% renewables era could come in 20 to 40 years – with existing technology, and it would cost no more than we’re paying now. But with energy storage lagging behind renewables, solar and wind are unable to smooth out the inconsistent power delivery.
Duke Energy just recently flipped the switch on a 36 MW energy storage and power management system at its Notrees Windpower farm in Texas. Duke says continued progress could lead to more renewable energy.
