Historical LCoE in wind and solar
Stabilization/storage tools To maintain dependable power supply: Power demand • Storage – Mature: batteries – lead-acid, molten salt – Mature: pumped storage hydro/flywheels – Developing: redox batteries (e.g. VRB, Plurion) – Future: may bring hydrogen • Control systems – Demand management Generation – Generation management – Backup power – Voltage and frequency control.
Appropriate Technology Rotary Converter – DC AC
