The California Independent System Operator’s new video, “From Idea to Reality: Battery Storage Comes of Age on the California Grid,” tells the story of California’s historic embrace of battery storage to support the grid as we transition to a carbon-free system.

A virtual grid will also play a big part.

Excellent video. More like this please. Anyone ride a Zero or other EV to work? I highly recommend it. ;) Does the CAISO facility have charging infrastructure?

Many CAISO employees do have EVs, and there are chargers available. So far, I have not seen an electric motorcycle. It is a very tempting proposition.

@@JalopyJockey 2 wheels > 4. No waiting in traffic, extremely fun, and efficiency is off the charts. A Model 3 averages ~ 250 Wh per mile while a Zero SR/S averages ~ 77 Wh per mile. Hands down the best daily commuting option ever invented. Electric bikes are a life hack/improvement that the world is just waking up to. :) Cheers.

Home batteries would be a big part of the solution !

Why not put solar panels in between the windmills?

Presumably the battery cost will be included in the overall cost of electricity.

Do not reply on PGE and your politicians on anything. Be prepared on your own and do it now before they ban more parts/resources.

Now a year later, double the capacity at 5,600MWh. Bravo

You need how many megawatts to power all the housing units in California exactly? Does 15,000,000 MWh a day or 450,000,000 MWh a month sound relatively close? Also how green is that really?

While Nancy Skinner's intentions were/are good, but the simple fact is that none of this would have happened were it not for the reduction in the cost of panels and batteries....and the involvement of Tesla. Odd that Tesla isn't mentioned once in this piece.

It is not odd. Their involvement into the research and development of battery technology is pretty minimal.

100 megawatts is useless. We are talking Gigawatts a thousand times more.

His is all to cover the elec part of energy. This is 20%. What supplies the grid in2050 when fossilfuels are cancelled. This will probably quadruple the demand for elec. How much have they paid for these batteries. Engineers calculated USA would be £350 trillion by 2050.. So how much is covered and how long doesit last 4 hours ?

Cable failures are nothing to do with batteries.
