NREL: battery second use offsets EV expense, improves grid stability; recommendations

Green Car Congress

JUNE 24, 2015

This research revealed utility energy storage as the most promising of possible applications, with a relatively low expense and abundant battery supply. The most promising application identified for second use batteries is to replace grid-connected combustion turbine peaker plants and provide peak-shaving services.
