This document discusses how thermal energy storage can help address issues with integrating renewable energy sources and balancing power demand and supply on the electrical grid. It proposes installing thermal energy storage units at buildings to absorb excess electricity at night and from renewables, converting it to stored thermal energy. This stored energy can then be used during peak daytime demand periods to help flatten demand curves and reduce grid stress. The document argues this approach can integrate renewables without impacting the grid, balance the value of day and night power, and lower carbon footprints overall by tapping into wasted nighttime electricity.
