Calculating the costs of adding storage to renewables The two fastest growing sources of renewable energy, wind and solar, are intermittent—they don’t always generate power when you need them to. The obvious solution is to add storage, like batteries, to shift some of the electricity to when demand is highest. Elon Musk is betting a … Continue reading Calculating the costs of adding storage to renewables→
Storage technologies for renewable energy can pay off Systems that bank energy can add value to solar, wind projects Utility companies or others planning to install renewable energy systems such as solar and wind farms have to decide whether to include large-scale energy storage systems that can capture power when it’s available and release it … Continue reading Storage technologies for renewable energy can pay off→
MISO: FERC approves first storage interconnection agreement MISO has to date lagged behind neighboring PJM Interconnection when it comes to storage. MISO has a market for short- and long-term storage and is examining the feasibility of a market for batteries capable of durations of four hours or more. To that point, FERC said more comprehensive … Continue reading MISO: FERC approves first storage interconnection agreement→
