MATCHING RENEWAL ENERGY PRODUCTION WITH DEMAND

Most sources of renewable power are much more variable than traditional power sources in time: solar power peaks at mid-day and declines in mornings and evenings; wind power comes and goes in gusts. While the cost of producing renewable energy is falling, matching generation with usage is still a barrier.

With solar power in particular, this imbalance creates the well-known “duck curve”, where the net load on the utility grid plummets at mid-day, before sharply rising in the early evening. On-site energy storage enables time-shifting of power to match variable supply with variable demand.

Excess energy captured during the day, from solar, can be used to meet increased demand in the evening. Pairing energy storage with renewable sources enables users to decouple from the grid, either for economic, philosophical, or resilience reasons. 

Curing Curtailment

In 2022 the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) curtailed 2.4 million megawatt hours (MWh) of utility-scale wind and solar output, a 63% increase from 2021 (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2023).

At wholesale costs that’s millions of dollars of economic loss. The storage and timed release of electricity through large-scale batteries like the Skip Tech system can help cure the curtailment problem and eliminate wasted clean energy.

Accomplished Co-Founders

The company was founded by two astrophysicists with expertise in fluid dynamics and system design. Unlike prevalent lithium-ion batteries, the Skip Tech energy storage system uses hydrogen and bromine chemistry making it safe for people and safe for the planet.

Zero Carbon Future

Dr. Gantner and Dr. Brown have known each other for more than two decades, starting with their concurrent pursuit of astrophysics PhDs at University of Colorado Boulder. They share a vision for a zero-carbon future and for providing tools and systems to help communities adapt and thrive in a climate-changing world.
