Enabling Increased Intermittent Green Generation via wind energy storage
Today wind power meets less than 5 per cent of Alberta’s power needs. One barrier to adding significant new wind and solar sources to our electricity grid is storage. Wind and solar power is intermittent — turbines and solar panels only produce power when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining. That poses […]
