Batteries are an integral part of our lives, storing the power generated by renewable sources to be used whenever it is needed. They have become so ubiquitous that few people realize how much they rely on them for everyday tasks. Batteries store the energy generated by solar panels and wind turbines, allowing us to use it when we need most power during peak hours or after dark. For this reason, battery storage systems are becoming increasingly popular with homeowners who want to take control of their electricity bills.<\/p>\n
Although they are becoming more common, there are still many misconceptions about battery storage systems and their work. In this article, we will discuss the different types of the battery storage systems and their benefits.<\/p>\n
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is an electrical energy storage used in electric power distribution and transmission. It is either stationary or bulk that is employed for large applications such as utility grids at the transmission level. It can be mobile, which provides load-leveling, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and black-start capabilities to mobile network operators. BESS uses batteries, ultracapacitors or flywheels as storage media.<\/p>\n
BESS is an integral part of the smart grid architecture because it can provide power conversion between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), regulate frequency, ease voltage sags or swells that propagate along distribution lines by using fast-acting switches to isolate sections of the grid as well as provide electric power during disruptions to either the primary or secondary distribution grids.<\/p>\n
It can be used on both low voltage and medium voltage distribution networks. The BESS has the same function as that of an uninterruptible power supply or UPS<\/a>, which provides emergency backup power to electrical equipment in case there’s a disruption in the primary supply.<\/p>\n Solar Batteries<\/a> Do the Following:<\/strong><\/p>\n Charge:<\/strong> Batteries store the energy from solar panels during daylight hours.<\/p>\n Discharge:<\/strong> The batteries release the stored energy when there is no solar power available.<\/p>\n Store:<\/strong> Batteries can shift electricity from times of low demand, for example, at night, to periods of high supply during peak hours.<\/p>\n Modulate:<\/strong> The discharge rate is controlled automatically in response to system conditions and network requirements resulting in highly efficient power delivery.<\/p>\n
