ESS (Energy Storage System)
Exemplary installation of ESS
Overview
- System to store generated electricity and supply it when needed, increasing energy efficiency
- Composed of a battery to store electricity and related devices to manage the battery efficiently
Features
- Efficient power utilization, high-quality power securing, and stable power supply
- The power system needs to increase the power capacity according to the peak time power demand.
- Power plant construction is expensive due to a mismatch between power demand and supply.
- Storage system can be used to resolve the mismatch between supply and demand, increasing efficiency of power utilization.
- Idle power is stored at midnight hours when power demand is low, and it is supplied during the daytime when power demand is high, improving the efficiency of the power system.
Applications
- Solar power plants, wind farms, substations, factories
- Thermal power plants, combined-cycle power plants, cogeneration plants, nuclear power plants
- Petrochemical, semiconductor, steel, and heavy industry plants, offshore plants
- Intelligent buildings and large industrial complexes
