How Storage Paves the Way for the Grid of the Future
The grid of the future must be based on renewable energy sources. One of the largest barriers to speedy wholescale adoption of these renewable resources comes from their intermittent nature. Energy storage bridges the gap between resource availability and consumer need.
The increasing penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), such as solar, call for new approaches on how we organize our electrical grid. Not only are solar inverters getting smarter and smarter (e.g. advanced grid features or communication capabilities) but also new technologies help to ensure a better integration into our energy infrastructure. The biggest impact will come from energy storage systems, which offer plenty of new applications such as backup power, self-consumption, tariff optimization or dynamic grid support. By implementing these new applications into our energy supply, we will pave the way for DER and our grid of the future.
This webinar will give an outlook on how storage applications benefit both system owners and grid operators. Topics in this webinar will include:
- Typical solar storage applications in residential and commercial
- Self-consumption and its benefits
- Increased energy resilience with decentralized storage
- Advantages of grid connected solar + storage systems over grid defection
