Community Energy Storage and the Smart Grid
KEMA provides commentary on viability, advantages of community energy storage technologies
Amidst the focus on developing energy storage technologies to produce alternative power and green energy, community energy storage devices present the greatest potential for effectiveness.
Community energy storage devices distinguish themselves through their abilities:
Integrate renewable resources into the smart grid for distributed generation
Employ renewable resources for demand response
Use technologies and batteries similar to those in electric and plug-in electric vehicles to operate
As a guest author for Smart Grid News, KEMA executive consultant Ali Nourai discusses the significance of these abilities and other advantages that position this energy storage technology at the forefront of the field.
Nourai’s article stems from material presented in KEMA’s Utility of the Future guidebook, The promise of energy storage.
