Storage Requirements and Costs of Shaping Renewable Energy Toward Grid Decarbonization

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the performance of wind and solar energy with storage to meet various demand profiles and estimate that energy storage capacity costs below a roughly $20/kWh target would allow a wind-solar mix to provide cost-competitive baseload electricity in resource-abundant locations such as Texas and Arizona.

The value of compressed air energy storage with wind in transmission- constrained electric power systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the potential advantages of co-locating wind and energy storage to increase transmission utilization and decrease transmission costs, and examined compressed air energy storage (CAES) in three wind-by-wire scenarios with a variety of transmission and CAES sizes relative to a given amount of wind.
