What is energy storage?
Basics of Energy Storage Energy storage refers to resources which can serve as both electrical load by consuming power while charging and electrical generation by releasing power while discharging. Energy storage comes in a variety of forms, including mechanical (e.g., pumped hydro), thermal (e.g., ice/water), and electrochemical (e.g., batteries).
Where can energy storage be procured?
Energy storage can be procured directly from “upstream” technology providers, or from “downstream” integration and service companies (FIGURE 2) Error! Reference source not found.. Upstream companies provide the storage technology, power conversion system, thermal management system, and associated software.
Are energy storage systems safe for commercial buildings?
For all of the technologies listed, as long as appropriate high voltage safety procedures are followed, energy storage systems can be a safe source of power in commercial buildings. For more information on specific technologies, please see the DOE/EPRI Electricity Storage Handbook available at: TABLE 1. COMMON COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES
How does energy storage work?
Energy storage can smooth both the momentary, and longer term fluctuations in power from intermittent renewable resources. There are currently no revenue streams associated with smoothing the short term fluctuations in power since the electric grid provides these same services at no cost.
Should energy storage be a revenue stream?
There are currently no revenue streams associated with smoothing the short term fluctuations in power since the electric grid provides these same services at no cost. However, energy storage can be used to shift the power from renewable generation to times when it would be of more value.
Who can install energy storage at a facility?
This could include building energy managers, facility managers, and property managers in a variety of sectors. A variety of incentives, metering capabilities, and financing options exist for installing energy storage at a facility, all of which can influence the financial feasibility of a storage project.
