RENEWABLES
of intake in order to subsidise lower points of intake later on , much like the traditional energy grid . Large-scale grids now have the ability to integrate a penetration rate of up to 20 percent without any problems whatsoever .
As smaller wind turbine factories become more stable , they can also be joined together in interconnected groups over larger land areas . This larger amount of hardware gives its own subsidy to the total energy across the area , guaranteeing a minimum amount of power no matter what . Researchers at Brown University are also studying how to incorporate batteries into these large systems for increased electric energy storage .
One idea that is being tested in Opelika , Alabama and other tech savvy cities around the United States is mounted turbines above interstate highways . These turbines harness the power of traveling
