By allowing utility operators to pump water up to a dam or impoundment during periods of low electricity demand and release water during times of peak electricity demand, pumped storage hydropower improves the reliability of electric grids and helps increase the use of variable renewable energy resources such as wind and solar power.

Key applications for long-duration energy storage include counterbalancing the intermittency of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power; leveling the loads and time-shifting periods of peak demand on the grid; and avoiding or delaying the construction of costly transmission and distribution (T&D) assets, among others.

The EPRI-NRDC Plug-in Hybrid Study makes clear that under every scenario studied, every region will yield reductions in greenhouse gases as we increase the number of plug-in cars. And ultimately, you can get no cleaner car than an electric car using wind or solar generated electricity.

The two studies—EPRI-NRDC and ANL—serve as “ excellent bookends ” for comparing minimal and maximal electrification of passenger transportation, the researchers concluded. They considered state-specific contributions from nine generating technologies: coal, oil, natural gas, hydro, biogas, geothermal, nuclear, wind, and solar.

If you are a plug-in hybrid owner and you have wind or solar power at your house , then you can feel really good about your plug-in hybrid using very little water, if any,” Webber told PM. “If Of course, there is no water consumed at all with wind power or solid state solar plants. million gallons per day.

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there. I love the idea of powering my car from solar power.
