Abstract
► Grid flexibility is needed to achieve high penetration of wind and solar energy. ► Without increased grid flexibility, a large fraction of wind and solar may be curtailed. ► Flexibility can be derived from several sources including energy storage. ► Energy storage can enable penetrations of wind and solar equal to 80% or more.
