What is wind energy storage?

As America develops more renewable energy projects, energy from intermittent sources like wind must be stored for use when the wind isn’t blowing. Wind energy storage help provide reliable, clean energy to the grid by storing excess energy when demand is low and releasing it when demand is high. With this, wind energy storage plays an important role in ensuring a steady supply of energy to millions of American homes and businesses.
