Carbon neutral wind power storage battery

Batteries can provide highly sustainable wind and solar energy storage for commercial, residential and community-based installations. Solar and wind facilities use the energy stored in batteries to reduce power fluctuations and increase reliability to deliver on-demand. As battery costs continue to decrease and efficiency continues to increase, an enhanced understanding of distributed-wind-storage hybrid systems in the context of evolving technology, regulations, and market structure can help accelerate these trends. They store excess energy from wind turbines, ready for use during high demand, helping to achieve energy independence and significant cost savings. MIT and Princeton University researchers find that the economic value of storage increases as variable renewable energy generation (from sources such as wind and solar) supplies an increasing share of electricity supply, but storage cost declines are needed to realize full potential.
