Can energy storage solve the problem of abandoning wind and light?

This topic is actually a bit rigorous. According to conventional professional habits, it should first discuss clearly what causes the abandonment of wind and light, and then discuss whether some means can help overcome these factors to solve the problem.

However, recent discussions on the development and application of energy storage in the industry have become more and more heated, and many small partners have regarded energy storage as a panacea for solving the problem of abandoning wind and light. Even when some brains are hot, or local governments that serve (some) companies are too active start to use this as a reason, when they issue policy documents that even kw and kwh are unclear, the author thinks that the industry should take good care of it.

"What caused the abandonment of wind and light?"

Such adjustment methods are endless, and the most extreme is the wind power enterprise, which is the “help object” envisaged by the energy storage project. The marginal revenue of each wind power generation of the wind power enterprise is about 0.15 ~ 0.55 yuan If you can actually get a higher compensation than this, then it is okay if the electricity is not sent. Wind farms can not only participate in regulation, but also have some excellent regulation performance.

So why do wind power companies have to spend 0.6 yuan or even higher to issue this power? Who is this good for?

In fact, the problem is very clear. Energy storage equipment, at least under the current technical conditions, is not a suitable means for us to solve the "regulation problem". There are a large number of social cost methods that are waiting for us to apply.

We just lack a market mechanism to use them! This cannot be solved by energy storage.

Then take a step back, assuming that we have no other means, only energy storage means are available.
