Energy storage systems are a central component of a reliable and sustainable energy supply with renewable energy sources. They compensate for fluctuations caused by weather or time of day and ensure that electricity is available exactly when it is needed. In doing so, they increase security of supply — both online and directly for consumers such as companies or municipalities. Storage systems also make it possible to use wind and solar energy more efficiently, as excess energy is not lost, but can be stored and used at different times. This relieves the load on the power grid, reduces expensive grid expansion costs and makes regions more independent of external power sources. Energy storage systems offer new economic opportunities for operators of renewable energy plants: They can absorb peak loads, optimize their own consumption and generate additional income through targeted electricity marketing.
In short: Energy storage systems bring stability to the system, create economic added value and are a key to the success of the energy revolution.
