Energy storage is needed on an electricity system because generation and demand must be

  • A.matched instant by instant
  • B.matched on a daily average only
  • C.matched on a monthly average only
  • D.independent of one another at all times

Answer: A

Correct answer: matched instant by instant

Electricity is not stored in the network itself, so generation must equal demand plus losses at every moment; any imbalance appears at once as a change in system frequency. Traditionally the matching was done by dispatching generators up and down, and storage is the alternative that lets energy be moved in time rather than requiring a plant to follow the load.
