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

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
