Storage solutions play an essential role in ensuring a balance between energy consumption and use, and in stabilizing energy supply. As a result, a steady output of 60 Hz in North America (50 Hz in Europe) can be maintained and the necessary capacity can be supplied, which is especially important for communities in isolated regions or at the end of the grid.
However, their intermittent nature means that solutions must be found to match electricity production with demand. In this respect BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) are highly effective.
