Is energy storage on the power generation side or the grid side

Is energy storage on the power generation side or the grid side

Any must match electricity production to consumption, both of which vary significantly over time. Energy derived from and varies with the weather on time scales ranging from less than a second to weeks or longer. is less flexible than , meaning it cannot easily match the variations in demand. Thus, without storage presents special challenges to . [PDF Version]
