Cost of Battery

Battery as energy storage has many roles in the implementation of renewable energy. Battery can reduce fluctuations in wind and photo-voltaic (PV) output, and allows sale of renewable energy at high-value times. The ability of the battery to provide large current in a short time becomes an important consideration to overcome black out. Power and frequency oscillation can […]
