Why do we need a grid-scale energy-storage system?
Under some conditions, excess renewable energy is produced and, without storage, is curtailed 2, 3; under others, demand is greater than generation from renewables. Grid-scale energy-storage (GSES) systems are therefore needed to store excess renewable energy to be released on demand, when power generation is insufficient 4.
What are energy storage systems?
Energy-storage systems designed to store and release energy over extended periods, typically more than ten hours, to balance supply and demand in power systems. Reduction of energy demand during peak times; battery energy-storage systems can be used to provide energy during peak demand periods.
