Flattening the duck curve with batteries
Found this on LinkedIn. Batteries are re-shaping the solar duck curve, soaking up solar during the day and discharging it when it's needed in the evening. The grid that originally coined the term "duck curve" is showing how to fix it. Just install more batteries! https://i.postimg.cc/yDFjM...
