When solar generation significantly exceeds immediate demand midday, how does storage act as a 'virtual transmission asset'?
Answer
By capturing the otherwise curtailed midday power and transmitting the stored energy later when needed most.
If building physical transmission lines is expensive or delayed, battery storage deployed locally can capture excess renewable energy and effectively transmit that capacity across time to meet peak evening demand.
