Assessing the value of battery energy storage in future power grids
"Battery storage helps make better use of electricity system assets, including wind and solar farms, natural gas power plants, and transmission lines, and that can defer or eliminate unnecessary investment in these capital-intensive assets," says Dharik Mallapragada, the paper''s lead author. "Our paper demonstrates that this ''capacity
Republic of Palau: Renewable Energy Roadmap 2022
The government of Palau has proposed a target of achieving 100% of its electricity generation from renewable energy sources by 2050. This renewable energy roadmap for the Republic of Palau has subsequently been
In Boost for Renewables, Grid-Scale Battery Storage Is on the Rise
How quickly that future arrives depends in large part on how rapidly costs continue to fall. Already the price tag for utility-scale battery storage in the United States has plummeted, dropping nearly 70 percent between 2015 and 2018, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.This sharp price drop has been enabled by advances in lithium-ion
