Grid Energy Storage (or) Batteries

Grid energy storage which is large-scale energy storage is a collection of methods used to store electrical energy on a large scale within an electrical power grid. Electrical energy is stored during times when production especially from intermittent power plants such as renewable electricity sources such as wind power, tidal power, and solar power exceeds consumption, and returned to the grid when production falls below consumption. The battery system could be used to run the load without starting the engine or when the wind is unavailable. In future, less expensive batteries could play an important role on the electrical grid.
