Grid energy storage is a collection of methods used to store energy on a large scale within an electricity grid.
To overcome this challenge, grid-scale energy storage systems are being connected to the power grid to store excess electricity at times when it’s plentiful and then release it when the grid is under periods of especially high demand.
In order to cope with both high and low load situations, as well as the increasing amount of renewable energy being fed into the grid, the storage of electricity is of great importance. However, the large-scale storage of electricity in the grid is still a major challenge and subject to research and development.
Another advantage is blending renewable energy sources into the grid. Weather can be unpredictable and therefore so is the power generated by it. A grid-scale battery stores energy when there’s no wind and the sun isn’t out. Batteries maximize the use of renewable energy and help move away from fossil fuels.
