Increasing the Efficiency of Hydropower Plants with Utility-Scale Batteries
Idaho National Laboratory (INL)

Utility-scale batteries can revolutionize how we harness renewable power. Coupled with wind and solar, these batteries could increase the reliability of green energy by storing excess energy during times of high generation and low demand. Then, utilities can tap the stored energy when demand increases.
