Energy storage plays a crucial role for clean energy transition. One of the biggest challenges facing renewable energy sources like wind and solar power is intermittency. Their output is variable and unpredictable depending on factors such as weather conditions and the time of the day. This makes it difficult to match supply with demand and maintain grid stability. Energy storage systems can help address this issue by capturing excess energy when supply exceeds demand and releasing it when demand exceeds supply. This can help to balance the grid, reduce the need for fossil fuel-based backup power and enable greater integration of renewable energy into the grid.
To facilitate this transition, Godrej & Boyce (G&B) has entered into a partnership with New York-based Urban Electric Power (UEP) (hyperlink) to provide eco-friendly energy storage systems.
