An electricity storage system absorbs electrical energy and makes it available again when needed. It makes it possible to use electricity flexibly over time and to manage energy flows within a company in a targeted manner.
Electricity is stored when it is available or inexpensive, and released again later when demand rises. This allows energy consumption to be better adapted to generation and prices.
In industry and commerce, electricity storage systems are used above all to realise economic and technical advantages:
While there are various technologies, battery storage systems have today established themselves as the most important form of electricity storage. They are particularly flexible, respond quickly and can be used in many different ways.
The term energy storage is broader and encompasses all forms of storage – including for heat or mechanical energy. Electricity storage refers exclusively to electrical energy.
An electricity storage system is a technology that absorbs electrical energy and makes it available again when needed.
Electricity storage systems are used to reduce peak loads, increase the self-consumption of solar power and lower energy costs.
The most important types include battery storage systems, pumped-storage power plants and other technologies for storing electrical energy.
Battery storage systems are flexible, quick to deploy and efficient, and are therefore the most important form of modern electricity storage in industry and energy systems.
Electricity storage systems balance out fluctuations in the grid, reduce peak loads and enable better integration of renewable energies.
