NREL Energy Models Examine the Potential for Wind and Solar Grid Integration (Fact Sheet)

Ernest Tucker

Research output: NREL › Fact Sheet

Abstract

As renewable energy generating sources, such as wind turbines and solar power systems, reach high levels of penetration in parts of the United States, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is helping the utility industry to peer into the future. Using software modeling tools that the lab developed, NREL is examining the future operation of the electrical grid as renewable energy continues to grow.
