Technical FAQs 4

Where is storage located in a power plant?

Storage can be located at a power plant, as a stand-alone resource on the transmission system, on the distribution system and at a customer’s premise behind the meter. Do wind and solar need storage? All power systems need flexibility, and this need increases with increased levels of wind and solar.

What is energy storage?

Energy storage is a system that can help more effectively integrate solar into the energy landscape. Sometimes it is co-located with, or placed next to, a solar energy system, and sometimes the storage system stands alone.

Should solar energy be combined with storage technologies?

Coupling solar energy and storage technologies is one such case. The reason is that solar energy is not always produced at the time energy is needed most. Peak power usage often occurs on summer afternoons and evenings, when solar energy generation is falling.

Can solar energy be used for energy storage?

Solar power can be used to create new fuels that can be stored and later used to provide energy. Existing compressed air energy storage systems often use the released air as part of a natural gas power cycle to produce electricity.
