Introduction to the energy storage products of the home energy equipment group

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 is the IET Code of practice for energy storage systems?

traction, e.g. in an electric vehicle. For further reading, and a more in-depth insight into the topics covered here, the IET’s Code of Practice for Energy Storage Systems provides a reference to practitioners on the safe, effective and competent application of electrical energy storage systems.

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 are electrical energy storage systems (EESS)?

Electrical energy storage systems (EESS) for electrical installations are becoming more prevalent. EESS provide storage of electrical energy so that it can be used later. The approach is not new: EESS in the form of battery-backed uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) have been used for many years. EESS are starting to be used for other purposes.

What is a photovoltaic energy storage energy management system?

Photovoltaic energy storage energy management system, which generally consists of photovoltaic components, grid-connected inverters, lithium batteries, AC-coupled energy storage inverters, smart meters, CT, power grids, and control systems.

What is a coupled photovoltaic + energy storage system?

The coupled PHOTOVOLTAIC + energy storage system, also known as the AC retrofit photovoltaic + energy storage system, is generally composed of photovoltaic modules, grid-connected inverters, lithium batteries, AC coupled energy storage inverters, smart meters, CT, power grid, grid-connected load and off-grid load.
