Energy Integration

Definition: Energy integration allows utilities to make the most of intermittent and distributed power resources.

By combining energy storage technology, electronics, infrastructure, risk assessment tools, and computing power, energy integration makes it possible to selectively draw power from a variety of sources, store it as needed, and route it to users based on availability and need.

Energy integration makes it possible for erratic and inconsistent renewable power sources, such as solar and wind, to play a bigger role in meeting peak energy demand.
