The adoption of variable renewable energy generation based on solar and wind power is rapidly growing. Together, these sources are projected to provide up to 10% of global energy demand by 2023.1 Wind and solar provide intermittent energy,2 subject to the Earth’s day and night cycles, weather patterns, and other environmental conditions. To sustain and accelerate this growth of intermittent energy production, electricity systems will require increased flexibility, including the potential to store power over long durations of time.
