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 do energy storage systems benefit EVCI networks?

Our energy storage systems allow EVCI networks to better manage and distribute peak demand to save money on energy costs, reduce their impact on electrical infrastructure and earn revenue from grid support programs.

What are energy storage technologies?

Energy storage technologies have the unique capabilities to keep the lights on when the power grid is under stress. In both Texas and California, energy storage technologies have prevented black outs during significant heatwaves—keeping people safe, power affordable, and the power on for businesses.

What is the difference between manufacturing and deployment of energy storage systems?

Manufacturing: Projects that manufacture energy storage systems for a variety of residential, commercial, and utility scale clean energy storage end uses. Deployment: Projects that deploy residential, commercial, and utility scale energy storage systems for a variety of clean energy and clean transportation end uses.

Are battery energy storage facilities safe?

Battery energy storage has an outstanding track record of safety and reliability. Facilities are safe by design, adhering to rigorous safety standards and incorporating the most advanced safety strategies and features.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage serves important grid functions, including time-shifting energy across hours, days, weeks, or months; regulating grid frequency; and ensuring flexibility to balance supply and demand.
