Applications: Microgrids

Energy storage supports microgrid applications by providing resiliency, energy independence, and renewable energy integration.

Battery energy storage systems support microgrid energy applications by:

• Providing backup power
• Supporting demand charge management
• Coordinating solar generation and battery storage
• Coordinating solar, storage, and existing diesel generation
• Supporting grid stability and resiliency
• Supporting peak shaving
• Charging batteries during the day and discharging them at night
• Reducing diesel fuel use

Microgrid energy storage systems depend on accurate battery data, including the level of charge available in the battery packs and the amount of energy available in the energy storage system.
