Storage Implications of Australian Wind Data

Author

Listed:
  • Ted Trainer

Abstract

Wind generation data enable periods of low wind input to the Australian energy supply system to be analysed in terms of the amount of supply that would have to be drawn from storage to meet demand over those periods. The findings challenge the common assumption that high-penetration renewable supply would be achievable at a relatively low need for storage and at an easily affordable cost.
