The authors present a theoretical framework to calculate how storage affects the energy return on energy investment (EROI) ratios of wind and solar resources. Our methods identify conditions under which it is more energetically favorable to store energy than it is to simply curtail electricity. . The challenge is how much the optimal capacity of energy storage system should be installed for a renewable generation. We propose a new planning strategy using which ESSs can be sized appropriately to provide. . To successfully transition to more sustainable electricity grids, we need to understand how multi-hour storage and renewables interact, when and how much to invest in them and how improving technology costs, different markets and carbon pricing affect these decisions. For large-scale, multi-hour. .
