The Office of Electricity’s (OE) Energy Storage Division accelerates bi-directional electrical energy storage technologies as a key component of the future-ready grid. The Division supports applied materials development to identify safe, low-cost, and earth-abundant elements that enable cost-effective long-duration storage. The division also supports early adoption by improving storage reliability and safety, applying modeling and analysis, and validating performance for rapid commercialization.

Most of us are familiar with certain kinds of electrical energy storage, or ESS. If you’ve ever used a household battery or driven an electric car, then you know that it’s possible to store electrical energy in a form that can be used again later.

An energy storage system stores excess energy and allows for the reuse of that stored energy when energy production is low and the demand is high. There are many different types of energy storage, including battery storage and pumped hydro, and these resources provide a variety of services, including the smoothing of the energy produced from renewable energy resources and resiliency support.

In this introduction to battery storage, find out how installing a battery energy storage system at your facility can help you reduce your utility bills and unlock energy flexibility revenues. Learn why battery storage is the solution you need to future-proof your energy operations and management – and earn money while doing it.

Home energy storage consists of a battery that allows you to store surplus electricity for later consumption, and when combined with solar power generated by your photovoltaic system, the batteries allow you to store energy generated during the day for use around the clock. Since battery energy storage systems are capable of optimizing the use of electricity, they ensure the most effective operation of your home solar power system. At the same time, they also guarantee continuity in case of temporary disruptions in the power supply, with extremely low response times. Home energy storage further supports energy self-consumption: the surplus energy produced during the daytime from a renewable source can be stored locally to use at a later time, thus reducing the degree of d

In contrast, large battery energy storage systems are designed to store energy from renewable sources, such as wind and solar power. These systems have capacities of tens to hundreds of megawatts and can store energy for longer periods of time, ranging from a few hours to several days. They are often used to provide grid services such as peak shaving, load balancing and frequency regulation. Large battery storage systems can be located near renewable energy sources or near the grid, depending on the application, and are becoming increasingly popular as the world moves toward a more sustainable energy mix.
