Assessment of energy storage for transmission-constrained wind.

Highlights: [•] We assess the potential for energy storage to economically decrease wind curtailment or decrease system costs. [•] We assume that the wind is under contract via a power purchase agreement. [•] Maximum viable energy storage costs were $780/kW with ten hours of storage capacity. [•] Sizing the energy storage to reduce a small portion of curtailment supports higher unit cost batteries. [•] Significant curtailment persists even with high capacity energy storage.
