View DetailsEnergy storage facilities are becoming an increasingly popular solution among owners of photovoltaic installations. They allow the storage of surplus electricity, which contributes to greater energy independence and efficiency of the entire system.
Energy storage at a photovoltaic plant works by converting and storing excess electricity generated by the photovoltaic plant, and then releasing it when demand increases or production is reduced.
Sometimes energy storage is co-located with, or placed next to, a solar energy system, and sometimes the storage system stands alone, but in either configuration, it can help more effectively integrate solar into the energy landscape. What Is Energy Storage?
Another advantage of energy storage is that it can be used as an emergency power supply. In this way, key devices such as alarm systems, heat pumps or medical equipment are protected. Modern systems can automatically switch to island mode (off-grid), allowing uninterrupted energy supply to key consumers.
Indiscriminate use of renewable energy sources can cause congestion and generate instability in the electricity grid. Energy storage facilities help balance the system by storing surplus energy locally and gradually releasing it, which relieves the strain on the grid and contributes to its stability.
The AES Lawai Solar Project in Kauai, Hawaii has a 100 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system paired with a solar photovoltaic system. Sometimes two is better than one. Coupling solar energy and storage technologies is one such case. The reason: Solar energy is not always produced at the time energy is needed most.
