An Energy Storage System (ESS) is a device or group of devices assembled that is to convert the electrical energy from power systems and store energy in order to supply electrical energy at a later time when needed. An ESS helps to effectively use and manage the electrical energy also expect the benefit of stable electricity supply and cost reduction (e.g., charging a battery with low-priced night time electricity). Combined an ESS and a private power station such as the Solar Energy or Wind Energy generation system can supply the electricity for 24/7 operable private power network.

An Extremely Low-Tech Solution To Our Energy Storage Problem (Source: Oil Price on 8 September 2021): By Haley Zaremba - In the past decade, renewable energies have advanced leaps and bounds and dramatically dropped in price. Wind and solar have become scalable, tradable as commodities, and have even outgrown their government subsidies as they become increasingly competitive with fossil fuels. Renewables are ready to take center stage in the urgent fight against climate change and have shown themselves to be capable of displacing fossil fuels. But there are still some major hurdles in the path towards a completely renewable world, and the biggest of those is energy storage. Renewable energies like wind and solar power are variable -- meaning that the amount of energy output fluctuates over time. As these forms of energy production are dependent on the weather and whether the sun is shining, it stands to reason that their flow of energy to the grid is marked by peaks and valleys. What’s more, renewable energy output is often at odds with energy demand. For example, as it gets dark and solar panels stop absorbing the sun’s rays, everyone starts turning on their lights, sucking energy from the grid at the same time that solar farms stop producing it. ...
