A new study by Charles J. As the percentage of electricity supply from wind and solar increases, grid operators will need to employ strategies and technologies, including energy storage, to balance supply with demand given the intermittency of the renewable supply. A plot of ESOI for 7 potential grid-scale energy storage technologies.
