Energy Storage: A Key Enabler for Renewable Energy. Wednesday, June 7, 2023. Author: Jeremy Twitchell, Di Wu, and Vincent Sprenkle. Energy storage is essential to a clean electricity grid, but aggressive decarbonization goals require development of long-duration energy storage technologies. The job of an electric grid operator is, succinctly

Storing clean energy provides reliability, flexibility, and resilience to the grid. Electricity grid operators need to match supply with demand at every moment. Energy storage balances that requirement by enabling energy from renewable sources to be stored and delivered whenever and wherever customers need power most. Now, even during cloudy
