There are several benefits for commercial and industrial customers to install energy storage systems at their facilities. Some of the advantages of commercial power storage include:
Energy storage is an important link for the grid to efficiently accept new energy, which can significantly improve the consumption of new energy electricity such as wind and photovoltaics by the power grid, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the grid system, but energy storage is a high-cost resource.
In this case, the energy storage side connects the source and load ends, which needs to fully meet the demand for output storage on the power side and provide enough electricity to the load side, so a large enough energy storage capacity configuration is a must.
