First Principles with Christian Keil

NOTE

Optimizing Battery Placement for Time Shifting and Grid Support

Placing batteries at the load side instead of the generation side allows for time-shifting of demand and supply from renewables. By focusing on grid support rather than just backup for solar panels, large batteries at homes and businesses can enhance grid infrastructure utilization, reduce peak loads, and boost renewable generation. As renewable energy increases in the total fuel mix, especially wind and solar, batteries become crucial to absorb excess production, incentivizing further renewable generation. This is essential to counter negative pricing and maximize the utilization of renewable energy.
