— Energy Storage Solutions Applications and benefits
Spinning reserve
Energy storage systems can respond within milliseconds and supply power to maintain network continuity while the back-up generator is started and brought online. This enables generators to work at optimum power output, without the need to keep idle capacity for spinning reserves. This eliminates the need to have back-up generators running idle. To provide effective spinning reserve, the Energy Storage is maintained at a level of charge ready to respond to a power failure.
Benefit
– Minimizes the impacts from power outages – Reduces need for generation sources to be online and ready to use (lower O&M costs as well as emissions) – Acts as a back-up power source
