How does storage help us balance the grid? | ESO

How does storage help us balance the grid? Energy storage allows us to move energy through time, capturing it when we have too much and saving it for when we don''t have enough. When we have excess electricity, perhaps on a really windy day, we don''t want the extra energy to go to waste. If we can store the electricity to use later, when ...
