Energy Storage: Issues and Applications

ISBN: 9781536115352 出版年：2011 页码：167 Jonathan M Bowen Nova Science

Both solar photovoltaics and wind energy have variable and uncertain outputs, which are unlike the dispatchable sources used for the majority of electricity generation in the United States. The variability of these sources has led to concerns regarding the reliability of an electric grid, as well as the cost of integrating large amounts of variable generation into the electric grid. This new book explores the role of energy storage in the electricity grid, focusing on the effects of large-scale deployment of variable renewable sources, primarily wind and solar energy.
