Renewable Energy Storage Tech Boosts Reliability of Electricity Supply
The article discusses how to make renewable energy sources more reliable by using energy storage devices. These devices store extra energy when there's a lot being generated and release it when there's not enough. This helps keep a steady supply of electricity from renewables. The researchers looked at different storage options like batteries and flywheels. They found that having storage facilities in both centralized and distributed locations, including electric vehicles, can improve the efficiency of renewable energy sources. By storing energy during times of high generation and using it during peak demand, the reliability of electricity supply can be enhanced.
