Storage key to smart grid success

Storage for flexibility
Smart grid solutions will allow firms to implement enhanced storage solutions, both in quantity and quality to meet future demands on networks, boost uptime and optimize the overall flow of power across the nation. With the right storage solutions in place, utilities will be able to continuously leverage renewable power sources, "building up a reserve" so to speak for the future. These efforts can also support remote areas by creating a reserve for them that is closer than the nearest power plant or generation facility.
