4 FAQs about Small electric energy storage equipment

What is electrical energy storage (EES)?

Is one of the four Conformity Assessment Systems administered by the IEC The need for electrical energy storage (EES) will increase significantly over the coming years. With the growing penetration of wind and solar, surplus energy could be captured to help reduce generation costs and increase energy supply.

What are the different types of energy storage systems?

There exist several methods to store renewable heat or electricity. In Fig. 1, we have classified these energy storage systems into four categories of mechanical, electrical, chemical, and thermal storages.

What types of energy storage can be used for short-term energy storage?

For short-term energy storage, there is also the possibility to use direct Electrical Energy storages (EES) such as Super Capacitors (SC) [13, 14] and Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES), which are mainly used as grid stabilisation units.

Is electro-thermal energy storage a viable alternative for stand-alone energy systems?

The cost is projected to be up to six times lower than that of current Lithium-ion batteries. This new electro-thermal energy storage provides a promising cost-efficient, high capacity alternative for stand-alone energy systems. 1. Introduction
