As renewable energy capacity grows, we must identify and expand better ways of storing this energy, to avoid waste and deal with demand spikes. Utility companies and other providers are increasingly focused on developing effective long-term energy storage solutions.
Energy storage technologies can significantly improve the performance of the whole energy system. They enhance energy security, allow more cost-effective solutions, and support greater sustainability, enabling a more just energy system.
As a consequence, the electrical grid sees much higher power variability than in the past, challenging its frequency and voltage regulation. Energy storage systems will be fundamental for ensuring the energy supply and the voltage power quality to customers.
When the wind is blowing or the sun is shining, the electricity that is produced must either be used or lost. On the other hand, when it’s cloudy or the wind isn’t blowing, power may not be available to meet demand. Energy storage addresses this problem by capturing excess energy during productive times and releasing it during leaner times.
The advantages of such testing setup are clear: the energy storage systems can be tested under realistic conditions, taking into account the grid complexity. This is particularly important when dynamic studies are involved.
