Replacing fossil fuel-based power generation with power generation from wind and solar resources is a key strategy for decarbonizing electricity. Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability.

One of the primary advantages of wind energy storage is that it reduces carbon emissions. Excess wind energy may be stored and used when wind speeds are low, minimizing the demand for fossil-fuel-based energy sources. Wind energy storage can also serve to stabilize the system, assuring a steady supply of electricity.

A stand-alone, hybrid wind plus solar energy system can be a great option in these scenarios, especially when paired with energy storage. At a higher grid-scale level, pairing solar and wind energy systems allows renewable developers to participate to a greater degree in deregulated electricity markets.

A storage system, such as a Li-ion battery, can help maintain balance of variable wind power output within system constraints, delivering firm power that is easy to integrate with other generators or the grid. The size and use of storage depend on the intended application and the configuration of the wind devices.

The most effective way to manage utility costs for customers with demand charges is a practice called peak shaving. Peak shaving involves proactively managing overall demand to eliminate short-term demand spikes, which set a higher peak. This process lowers and smooths out peak loads, which reduces the overall cost of demand charges.

In areas like the US Southwest, solar installations appear to contribute to bird mortality. Scientists aren’t entirely sure why this is, but one prevailing idea, known as the “lake-effect” hypothesis, is that migrating waterfowl making their way through the arid landscape mistake the installations for bodies of water and crash into them.
