What is energy storage technology?

Energy Storage Technology is one of the major components of renewable energy integration and decarbonization of world energy systems. It significantly benefits addressing ancillary power services, power quality stability, and power supply reliability.

How does energy storage work?

Energy storage operates in parallel8 with the grid. Generation, if present is non-renewable. Metering is standard (non-net-metered). Energy storage and generation, if present, are not allowed to export energy to the grid9. The method of achieving #4 must be fully illustrated in the oneline diagram or described below.
