Applications ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM for Reducing CO2 Emissions Stabilizing Intermittent Renewable Although renewable energy resources are environmentally beneficial; the variable output of wind, solar and wave generation causes voltage and frequency fluctuations on the power network. NAS system smoothes the output from these resources, bringing increased benefits to society.
