About Grid Scale Energy Storage

A grid-scale energy storage system stores power when there is excess and releases energy when there is demand such as during power outage. The increased use of intermittent renewable energy sources has resulted in the use of energy storage systems. Electricity storage primarily fills the gap between the ramping down/ ramping up time of wind/ solar powered energy generation systems. The energy storage systems provide operational support to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted flow of electricity supply. They maintain the power quality and reliability with short response time. In addition, they also smoothen the energy output of renewable sources, which are intermittent in nature.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global grid-scale energy storage market to grow at a CAGR of 34.8% during the period 2016-2020.
