Role of storage technologies for renewable energy
- Wind, solar resources are intermittent
- Storage can be used to:
- Match renewables supply to demand
- Increase renewable plant revenue

Evaluating storage techs for solar and wind energy
Consider three locations, two energy resources
- Consider wind and solar at three sites:
- Barnstable, MA
- McCamey, TX
- Palm Springs, CA
- Datasets:
- Hourly real-time electricity pricing (ISONE, ERCOT, CAISO)
- Hourly generation of solar and wind plants

- Storage today can add value to wind and solar in some locations
- Cost improvement needed for wide-spread profitability
- Optimal cost improvement trajectories relatively location invariant
- Cost targets can inform industry and government tech strategies

Predicting electric vehicle range
- Range is not constant—73 miles on average but with a distance of 58
miles, a 5% chance of running out of charge
- Range does not increase linearly with battery capacity
Current Capacity
- Example 1: Evaluate stationary storage cost structures against
electricity demand, prices and resource availability
- Example 2: Evaluate mobile battery specific energy against personal
vehicle travel patterns
How much improvement needed in energy storage technologies and materials?
Conclusions and discussion
- Energy storage development next ~15 years critical for renewables
growth and climate change mitigation
- Some storage technologies becoming profitable for renewables in
several locations, but further development needed
- 87% of US personal vehicle-day energy needs met with today’s
batteries w/out recharging, but other powertrains needed to enable widespread electric vehicle adoption
- Energy storage materials and device development targets can be
quantified by examining patterns of energy demand
