Key Attributes of Utility-Scale Battery Storage Systems
As the adoption of clean energies continues and more countries work toward decreasing their emissions and attaining their targets, the popularity of battery storage technology grows. Battery storage technology allows utilities and power system operators to store energy for future use, which may come in handy in the event of unexpected outages or failures. An energy storage system works by collecting energy from a power plant or grid and then discharging it at a later time, providing electricity and other grid services when required. There exist various battery chemistries available for grid-scale applications, including molten salt, redox flow and lithium-ion…
