The government is set to make battery storage capacity a must for upcoming solar and wind power plants, Prashant Kumar Singh, secretary, ministry of new and renewable energy (MNRE), has said.
The U.S. electricity grid connects more than 11,000 power plants with around 158 million residential, commercial, and other consumers. Energy storage technologies have the potential to enable several improvements to the grid, such as reducing costs and improving reliability. They could also enable the growth of solar and wind energy generation.
Energy storage technologies—such as batteries, flywheels, compressed air, and pumped hydroelectric power—have several potential benefits.1 For example, the ability to store energy—especially for several hours or longer—could reduce costs, increase the electricity grid's reliability, and improve its ability to recover from disruptions.
Energy storage serves important grid functions, including time-shifting energy across hours, days, weeks, or months; regulating grid frequency; and ensuring flexibility to balance supply and demand.
Our investment in energy storage evolves with our grid, creating long-term benefit and reliability for years to come. Energy storage is a critical hub for the entire grid, augmenting resources from wind, solar and hydro, to nuclear and fossil fuels, to demand side resources and system efficiency assets.
• Charging. Increasing energy storage capacity could allow for increased use of variable renewable electricity generation technologies. Potential benefits include the reduction of greenhouse gases and other emissions because of reductions in fossil fuel plants.
Energy storage can save operational costs in powering the grid, as well as save money for electricity consumers who install energy storage in their homes and businesses.
