Energy storage boosts renewable energy transmission capacity, revolutionizing clean energy distribution.
Energy storage can help stabilize wind and solar power for better use. A method was developed to optimize how much energy storage is needed in a system with wind, solar, and storage. This method improves the ability to use renewable energy together. Different configurations can be chosen based on the amount of wind and solar power, how much they can fluctuate, and how much energy can be transmitted. The method was shown to increase the capacity for using renewable energy together effectively.
