Energy Storage Futures, Vol 4, Distributed PV plus Storage

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) over the last year released a multivolume study titled “Storage Futures Study,” hereafter SFS. The high level goal of this is to model energy storage systems’ implementation out to 2050.

My current intent is to track each of these volumes with a much shorter one of my own.

Section 4 of this study’s report evaluates distributed storage. Because distributed storage is almost always paired with photovoltaic (PV) solar generation, this form of generation comes along for the ride. Our Volume 4 of Energy Storage Futures is a summary of this section.
