DESCRIPTION:Batteries are becoming an increasingly common part of new power
  generation projects\, especially for solar and wind farms. Solar projects
  use batteries to shift generation from the day to the evening\, to captur
 e higher power prices as the sun goes down. Wind projects can use batterie
 s to smooth power output and avoid congestion.\n\nIn many cases the batter
 ies are located with and integrated into the renewable power project\, as 
 a hybrid power plant. Wind and solar plants are located to take advantage 
 of strong winds and sunshine\, with plentiful land and good grid connectio
 ns.\n\nBatteries can be put practically anywhere\, like in high-value loca
 tions where they can provide additional values to the local grid\, such as
  voltage support\, congestion relief\, and resilience. With the right cont
 rols\, they can also provide system-wide benefits\, such as capacity and l
 oad following.\n\nNew research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 
 (Berkeley Lab) looks at the question of where batteries should be located 
 to provide the highest value. Do hybrid renewable + battery power plants p
 rovide more value than independently sited installations?\n\nSpeaker(s): W
