Enhancing Efficiency and Reliability: Energy Storage Technology (EST)

Cost-effective solutions for storing electrical energy is good for everyone. Electric energy storage can be used to accumulate excess electricity generated at off-peak hours and discharge it at peak hours. This can reduce the need for peak generation (particularly from expensive peaking plants) and reduce the strain on transmission and distribution networks. EST can also provide critically important ancillary services such as grid frequency regulation, voltage support and operating reserves; increasing grid stability and reliability.
