Introduction to home energy storage products

When was the first electricity storage system invented?

The first electrical energy storage systems appeared in the second half of the 19th Century with the realization of the first pumped-storage hydroelectric plants in Europe and the United States. Storing water was the first way to store potential energy that can then be converted into electricity.

What applications can electric energy storage systems work with?

There are several possible applications that electric energy storage systems can work with. These applications are differentiated by two main categories: those that require large amounts of energy in the long term, and those that require high power, i.e., high rates of energy transfer.

What type of storage system is based on chemical reactions?

This kind of storage system is based on chemical reactions associated with the elements used to manufacture the battery. The common battery is composed of cells, with two electrodes (anode and cathode) and an electrolyte. Chemical reactions within the battery provide the electromotive force required for the flow of electric current.

What is ESS storage system?

This kind of ESS requires particular geographic features to be installed. This kind of storage system is based on chemical reactions associated with the elements used to manufacture the battery. The common battery is composed of cells, with two electrodes (anode and cathode) and an electrolyte.
