OverviewHistoryMethodsApplicationsUse casesCapacityEconomicsResearch

Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential, electricity, elevated temperature, latent heat and kinetic. En

What are battery energy storage systems and how do they work?
To answer these questions we discussed the topic with our Head of Sales, Nigel Dent. Nigel said: "Battery energy storage systems (or BESS as they are sometimes known) are systems that can capture and store energy – either from the grid or from renewables such as solar and wind power – and then use that power when it is needed.".
