The grid must be intelligent to deliver reliable power when and where consumers need it. Integrating renewable energy sources with smart energy storage will help mitigate grid overload, shift power loads and help reduce our carbon footprint. Discerning between available and viable storage technologies, however, means old …
Globally, Gatti projects rapid growth in energy storage, reaching 1.2 terawatts (1,200 gigawatts) over the next decade. Key players include Australia, which in 2017 became the first nation to install major battery storage on its grid with the 100-megawatt Hornsdale Power Reserve, and is now planning to add another 300 megawatts …
Benefits of Energy Storage. Energy storage provides greater flexibility and increased resiliency for new and existing assets, for both utility scale and behind the meter …
All solar farms connect to a specific point on the electrical grid, the vast network of wires that connects every power generation plant to every home and business that consumes power. That point is called the "point of interconnection," or POI. The POI is different for utility-scale versus community solar scale projects.
