Energy storage systems: what are they and how they work
An energy storage system is a device or set of devices that can store electrical energy and supply it when needed. It is a fundamental technology for ensuring the safety, reliability and
Electrical storage systems are particularly well-suited to roles that demand rapid energy deployment. In the realm of power grids, they are used to perform tasks such as frequency regulation, which helps to maintain the balance between the grid's supply and demand by quickly absorbing or releasing energy.
and the electrification of transportation and heating systems. 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.
