AN INTRODUCTION TO BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE
The number of large-scale battery energy storage systems installed in the US has grown exponentially in the early 2020s, with significant amounts of additional reserve capacity in
Battery energy storage systems offer power grids key opportunities for better flexibility, renewable energy integration, and reliable power supply by storing excess renewable energy during low demand times to release during peak demand enabling higher renewable energy penetration and supporting global decarbonisation.
As power systems increasingly integrate variable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, the need for flexible and reliable power grids that can supply electricity at all times has become essential. Battery energy storage system (BESS) can address these supply-demand gaps by providing flexibility to balance supply and demand in real-time.
Batteries are an important part of the global energy system today and are poised to play a critical role in secure clean energy transitions. In the transport sector, they are the essential component in the millions of electric vehicles sold each year. In the power sector, battery storage is the fastest growing clean energy technology on the market.
Beyond selling the stored electricity itself, IPPs with battery energy storage systems can add value with ancillary and distribution services like voltage support, frequency regulation, demand charge management, and more.
