quoteThe paper on energy storage in California, Wisconsin, and Germany stated: “Wind and solar output exhibit seasonal episodes of both sustained oversupply and undersupply that overwhelm any conceivable storage strategy. Battery storage technologies may have a role in managing shorter-term imbalances but are unlikely to solve the very large seasonal swings in generation output under high-penetration IR (Variable Renewable) scenarios.”
referenceA paper examining the potential role of energy storage in California, Wisconsin, and Germany concluded that battery storage is unlikely to solve the large seasonal swings in generation output caused by high-penetration variable renewable scenarios.
