Stephen Lacey of the Renewable Energy World podcast reports from a renewable energy conference in Austin.
Here is the text explaining this podcast:
We’d all like to see a world powered mostly by renewables. But is it possible? With the right planning, we can develop a lot of intermittent renewables without storage. At some point, however, we’ll need both short-term and long-term storage technologies to help stabilize the grid.
Storage is often seen as the “Holy Grail” of technologies for integrating wind and solar. In this podcast, we’ll have a roundtable discussion on storage and look at emerging applications, market opportunities and ask whether these technologies are ready for large-scale applications.
