What is an energy storage system?An energy storage system (ESS) for electricity generation uses electricity (or some other energy source, such as solar-thermal energy) to charge an energy storage system or device, which is discharged to supply (generate) electricity when needed at desired levels and quality. ESSs provide a variety of services to support electric power grids.
How does the integrated storage system work?The integrated storage system is designed to cover 100 % of the demand with the energy generated by the PV system during the summer. During the rest of the year a little additional energy has to be purchased from the grid.
Are EVs a new load for electricity?EVs are expected to be not only a new load for electricity but also a possible storage medium that could supply power to utilities when the electricity price is high. A third role expected for EES is as the energy storage medium for Energy Management Systems (EMS) in homes and buildings.
How is a storage system connected to a grid?Many storage systems are connected to the grid via power electronics components, including the converter which modulates the waveforms of current and voltage to a level that can be fed into or taken from the grid directly. Sometimes the converter is connected to a transformer before the grid connection in order to provide the required voltage.
Are energy storage systems viable and economically reasonable?However, such storage systems become vi-able and economically reasonable only if the grids have to carry and distribute large amounts of vol-atile electricity from REs. The fi rst demonstration and pilot plants are currently under construction (e.g. in Europe).
