What are the Five Major Functions of Battery Energy Storage?
The five major functions of battery energy storage are mainly reflected in the following five aspects:
1. Balancing power supply and demand
The battery energy storage system can store excess power when there is an oversupply of power and release the stored power when the power demand peaks, thereby balancing the supply and demand of the power system. This function is essential to improving the stability and reliability of the power grid and helps avoid problems caused by power shortages or surpluses.
2. Increase grid stability
The battery energy storage system has the ability to respond quickly to grid demand and can adjust voltage and frequency by controlling output power, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the grid. This is of great significance for maintaining the normal operation of the power system and ensuring the quality of power consumption for users.
3. Improve power quality
The battery energy storage system can absorb and eliminate transient interference and harmonics in the power grid, thereby improving the power quality. This helps to improve the quality of power supply and reduce equipment damage and power failures caused by power quality problems.
4. Reduce energy consumption costs
By storing electricity with low-priced electricity and releasing it during peak hours to replace expensive grid electricity, the battery energy storage system helps to reduce energy consumption costs. This is an important energy-saving and emission-reduction measure for both enterprises and home users.
5. Promote the development of new energy
Battery energy storage systems can smooth the volatility of new energy (such as solar and wind energy), improve the utilization rate of new energy, and provide technical support for large-scale access to the power grid for new energy. This is of great significance for promoting the development of the new energy industry and reducing dependence on traditional energy.
In summary, battery energy storage systems play an increasingly important role in modern power systems, which not only helps to improve the stability and reliability of power systems, but also helps to reduce energy consumption costs and promote the development of new energy.
