15 Conclusion

16 Conclusion Energy storage powerful means for intermittent RES integration Multifunctional storage application most profitable Multifunctional storage application leads to high part load shares and causes more frequent plant start-ups does not diminish absorption of surplus wind energy Which storage technology fits best? How much storage do we need in the future? Slide 17 GAFOE, March 212
