Description

Overview:

Electricity generation is responsible for 32% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and electricity demand is growing. Decarbonizing the electric power sector is critical to meeting the growing demand while simultaneously reducing overall carbon emissions.

Integrating more renewable resources is a key component for decarbonizing the electric power sector, however this poses challenges due to the intermittency of renewable resources like wind and solar. Some tools available to integrate renewables into the grid include storage, flexible loads, overbuilding, and regional integration.
