Grid-Scale Battery Storage
A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed. Several battery chemistries are available or under investigation for grid-scale applications, including
Battery storage — A new lens on energy for consumers
Grid benefits from BTM battery storage. A benefit of battery storage that consumers and utilities share is energy resiliency — the ability to avoid or adapt to unanticipated power interruptions. All consumers can harden their electric supply and minimize power disruptions with BTM battery storage. Utilities gain cost effective
