Applications and Case Studies
Today’s electric grid faces new challenges in maintaining reliable service to electricity users around the world. Aging infrastructure, greater variability from increased renewable resources, and retirement of traditional generators have resulted in a greater demand for flexible assets to be deployed on the grid. At the same time, a new class of flexible asset, energy storage, has risen to meet this challenge.
This webinar will describe various applications for energy storage on the grid and how they can be used to help grid operators, generators, or utility companies meet the challenges of ensuring reliability and increasing the efficiency of existing resources or infrastructure. Actual real world case studies will describe how these grid storage solutions were configured from standard modular building blocks and deployed to solve challenges for their owners. This will cover the application modelling and configuration process, the installation and commissioning, as well as actual results from select cases.
