Why store energy? How energy can be stored? Solar energy is not always generated when energy is most needed. Electricity demand peaks often occur in the afternoon and evening of summer, when solar generation is declining. At these times, temperatures may be highest, people who have been working during the day come home and begin using electricity to cool their homes, cook, and run appliances.
A reliable VFD manufacturer can provide efficient energy storage solutions that can help solar contribute to electricity supply even when the sun is not shining. Such storage solutions can also help to mitigate the potential flow fluctuations that often arise with changes in sunlight amounts on photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrating solar power (CSP) systems. Solar production can be affected by obstacles such as seasonality, time of day, clouds, dust, haze or shadow, rain, snow, and dirt. Sometimes storage is co-located or adjacent to the solar system and sometimes it is independent, but in either configuration, it can help integrate solar more effectively into the energy landscape. So what is energy storage? How energy can be stored?
How energy can be stored? "Storage" technology captures electricity and converts it into chemical, thermal, mechanical forms of energy, which are stored and then released when needed. Lithium-ion batteries are an excellent example of this technology. A reliable Chinese VFD manufacturer can provide high-quality energy storage solutions to increase system efficiency and resilience. Since energy storage is never 100% efficient, energy gets lost during the conversion and recovery process. However, energy storage allows usage flexibility at different energy generation times, leading to a more efficient and resilient system. Storage can match power supply and demand and improve power quality, thereby leading to the optimal use of energy.
How energy can be stored? Storage facilities differ in energy capacity, the total amount of energy that can be stored, and power capacity, the total amount of energy that can be released at a given time (usually measured in kilowatts or megawatts). Different energy and power capacities of storage can be used for different tasks. Short-term storage lasting only a few minutes will ensure that solar power plants operate smoothly during periods of output fluctuations caused by the passage of clouds, while long-term storage will help provide days or weeks of supply during periods of low solar output or major weather events.
