使用可再生能源是减缓气候变化的一项重要战略。然而Sinn（2017）认为，过高的电力存储需求限制了可变风能和太阳能的进一步扩展。我们的问题，并改变，强大的隐式假设的新恩的方法，并发现存储需求是相当低的，高达两个数量级。首先，我们通过允许存储和可再生能源削减的组合来摆脱角落解决方案。其次，我们指定一个简约的优化模型，明确考虑经济效率的角度来看。我们的结论是，电力存储不太可能限制向可再生能源的过渡。(C)2018作者（S）由Elsevier B. V.发布，这是CC BY许可下的开放获取文章。(http（地址：//creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/）
The use of renewable energy sources is a major strategy to mitigate climate change. Yet Sinn (2017) argues that excessive electrical storage requirements limit the further expansion of variable wind and solar energy. We question, and alter, strong implicit assumptions of Sinn's approach and find that storage needs are considerably lower, up to two orders of magnitude. First, we move away from corner solutions by allowing for combinations of storage and renewable curtailment. Second, we specify a parsimonious optimization model that explicitly considers an economic efficiency perspective. We conclude that electrical storage is unlikely to limit the transition to renewable energy. (C) 2018 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY license.
