In this study we examine what spatial and temporal resolution is necessarily to accurately capture the full value of LDES, in the context of a continent-scale capacity expansion model.

As the availability of weather-dependent, zero marginal cost resources such as wind and solar power increases, a variety of flexible electricity loads, or `demand sinks', could be deployed to use intermittently available low-cost electricity to produce valuable outputs.

Our findings indicate that not modeling co-location fails to capture the full substitutability of storage and solar photovoltaic (PV) resources for transmission: co-location can reduce long-distance inter-regional transmission expansion by 12-31% and decrease grid connection capacity and shorter-distance transmission interconnection by 20-25%.

Of these sites, 53% of solar and 85% of wind sites exhibit higher development risk and potential for land use conflict.
