Abstract

High levels of intermittent renewable sources will lead to large swings in demand for other generation resources, increasing the risk of overgeneration. Rooftop solar installations exacerbate the potential issues as well. Energy storage systems can mitigate these problems but need to be properly sized to reach network wide goals.
