Energy storage for electricity generation
Balancing grid supply and demand and improving quality and reliability —Energy storage can help balance electricity supply and demand on many time scales (by the second, minute, or hour).
Energy storage systems capture and hold energy for later use by shifting when and how electricity supply and demand are balanced. They're charged using electricity from the power grid during periods of low demand or extra capacity.
One way to help balance fluctuations in electricity supply and demand is to store electricity during periods of relatively high production and low demand, then release it back to the electric power grid during periods of lower production or higher demand. In some cases, storage may provide economic, reliability, and environmental benefits.
Electrical Energy Storage (EES) systems store electricity and convert it back to electrical energy when needed. 1 Batteries are one of the most common forms of electrical energy storage.
Reducing end-user demand and demand charges —Commercial and industrial electricity consumers can deploy on-site energy storage to reduce their electricity demand and associated demand charges, which are generally based on their highest observed levels of electricity consumption during peak demand periods.
