Determining the optimal scale (installed PV capacity) and storage capability (energy storage capacity) for such a plant is critical. This process requires rigorous analysis and scientific calculation, considering multiple interdependent factors. . This report describes development of an effort to assess Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) performance that the U. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report. 6 GW of capacity was installed, the largest. . As variable renewable energy (VRE) plants such as wind and solar power start to play a major role in many electric power systems around the world, strategies for dealing with the additional variability introduced into the grid by such plants are becoming more important.
