Wind and solar power have already become key power sources in today’s energy mix. Their heavy penetration and the growth of more distributed generation has changed the operational structure of the electricity grid. Further, the unpredictable nature and variability of renewable energy generation leads to fast-changing imbalances between generation and load, impacting grid stability and power quality.
Siestorage from Siemens can act as an energy consumer as well as producer. This combination helps to improve grid stability and enable greater integration of renewable energy sources. Thus the grid can utilize more of available energy. Also industry and infrastructure customers can benefit from this solution to better manage variable loads or as an alternative to back-up power generation in case of a breakdown.
