Solar, Wind, and Energy Storage Requirements for the Northeast United States
As the six New England states increasingly pursue clean energy standards while electrification soars, understanding the necessary storage capacity to meet peak demands is paramount to continued grid stability. Using electrical grid load, global-horizontal-irradiance, and wind speed data from 2019-2024, this study estimates energy storage requirements using a MATLAB optimization script constrained to differing solar and wind capacity mixes in the Northeast region of the United States. The results give insight into optimal solar and wind farm siting, and the required supplemental energy storage capacity.
