World Bank (2015b) also points out that integrating the variable renewable energy resources (e.g., wind and solar) into a grid increases the system cost of the grid to supply electricity. Inter-connections of the grid to other grids, on the other hand, help reduce the scale of the intermittency problem.

This study determines the lifetime cost of 9 electricity storage technologies in 12 power system applications from 2015 to 2050. We find that lithium-ion batteries are most cost effective beyond 2030, apart from in long discharge applications.
