Energy Storage

Energy Storage is the ability to store energy in a form that can be used later. It is an important part of the energy system and will be the main part when communities start their transformation to net zero. 

Why is it important?

  • Integrate renewable energy: Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are intermittent, meaning that they do not produce energy all the time. Energy storage can be used to store excess energy generated by renewable sources during periods of high production and release it during periods of low production, helping to ensure a reliable supply of electricity.
  • Improve grid stability: Energy storage can help to stabilize the grid by absorbing and releasing energy as needed. This can help to prevent blackouts and other grid disruptions.
  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions: Energy storage can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-fired power plants.
  • Provide backup power: Energy storage can be used to provide backup power to homes, businesses, and other critical facilities during power outages.

Energy storage technologies are rapidly evolving and becoming more cost-effective. This is making them increasingly attractive for a variety of applications, including:

  • Utility-scale energy storage: Utility-scale energy storage systems can be used to store large amounts of energy from renewable sources and other generators. This can help to improve grid stability and reliability, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
  • Commercial and industrial energy storage: Commercial and industrial energy storage systems can be used to reduce energy costs and improve grid resilience. For example, businesses can use energy storage to store energy during low-cost periods and use it during peak-cost periods.
  • Residential energy storage: Residential energy storage systems can be used to reduce energy costs, provide backup power, and improve grid resilience. For example, homeowners can use energy storage to store solar energy generated during the day and use it at night.
