Should energy storage be a'must-have' for disaster recovery?
Energy storage has traditionally been viewed as an expensive “must-have” for disaster recovery efforts. While recent events support the importance of grid modernization through energy storage systems—the idea that these systems could be used to generate revenue streams and reduce operating costs is a newer concept.
What is energy storage?
It’s a new approach that enables energy storage—once a costly, passive (but necessary) disaster recovery asset—to emerge as a cost-effective, active participant that stands to make power systems and consumer services more resilient, more efficient, and more responsive to the need for a sustainable, readily-adaptable energy environment.
Why do we need energy storage systems?
By providing power and lighting during large-scale weather events such as Superstorm Sandy and Hurricanes Irene and Katrina, energy storage systems of all shapes and sizes reduce the time it takes for first responders to begin recovery efforts.
Why do we need transportable energy storage systems?
Our society is often supported by both the power and transport networks, and these networks overlap at different geographical locations and nodes, hence the transportable energy storage system (TESS) moving along the transport network have been advocated to improve the resilience of the power system .
How can transportable energy storage systems improve post-disaster recovery?
In summary, transportable energy storage systems can assist more reasonable distribution of energy during the post-disaster recovery of the distribution network, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the restoration process.
What are energy storage assets?
From flashlights to uninterrupted power supplies, energy storage assets have a long history of supporting critical infrastructure and services during times of natural disaster.
