What is an Energy Storage System
A battery energy storage system is a sub-set of energy storage systems, using an electro-chemical solution. In other words, a battery energy storage system is an easy way to capture energy and store it for use later, for instance, to supply power to an off-grid application, or to complement a peak in demand.
How does an Energy Storage System work
Atlas Copco’s ZenergiZe range is a good example of how the high-density li-ion batteries can be leveraged to enable a new level of sustainability, flexibility, and usability, without compromising on power. Due to their modular structure, they are an ideal solution for small businesses requiring a versatile power management, as well large applications with multiple units, where they can revolutionize fleet efficiency.
Why battery-based hybrid energy storage solutions represent the future
Battery-based Energy Storage Systems used in conjunction with generators have dealt a major blow to the naysayers by combining higher levels of sustainability with more rapid return on investment (ROI) and low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). A hybrid ESS solution will typically pay initial costs back in no more than two years.
Renewable energy storage systems to power the future
The most efficient way to store – and deliver – energy coming from renewable sources is through battery-based renewable energy storage systems. The more battery storage for renewable energy that is available the less there will be a need for the conventional power sources of the past.
Solar energy storage – getting the most out of the sun
A key factor in this transition to low-carbon energy is the adoption of renewable energy sources, and solar energy deserves particular attention. The problem, however, is now to harness that energy and use it effectively. To make sure the maximum amount of energy is captured and used, the only viable option is solar energy storage.
