The benefits of grid energy storage for reliable energy supply

Hello kids! Today we want to discuss something very interesting: something that stores energy on the grid. So this is how we get dependable energy at all times. By "grid energy storage" we mean we can retain electricity in huge batteries. This harvested electricity can be used later, when we need it the most. It’s like reserving a few snacks for later on when you’re hungry! This concept is really important because sometimes, we might use more electricity than we normally would, like what happens when everybody is using their devices all at once, and at other times, we have excess energy when we’re not using it. So, let’s go further and discover all incredible benefits grid energy storage is bringing to us.

These are the 10 identifying characteristics of dependable Grid Energy Storage: 

Have you ever experienced a blackout in your house? When you cannot use your lights, TV or computer, it can seem so annoying and irritating. If it gets too dark, you might even be a little scared! But with grid energy storage we can keep the extra electricity and don’t lose power during an outage. This means that we will be able to continue using our phones, tablets, and other essential devices even when the lights go out. Isn’t that cool? You can think of it like a flashlight that never needs batteries! With grid energy storage, we can feel secure and comfortable, even when the power is out.

STORING IN THE GRID: Saving Money 

Did you know grid energy storage can also save us money? It’s true. Often there is more electricity than we need, and then we give it away or sell it cheaply sometimes. That usually happens because we have more electricity than we can hold in our electrical system without running into problems or wasting it. But with grid storage, we can store that extra energy. We can stockpile it in large batteries and unleash it later, at times of high demand. This means we don’t have to sell it at a discounted price, and that’s good for making money! Aren’t savings a good thing to have, period? This means families will have more money left for the important things in their lives — like food, clothes or fun.

Grid Energy Storage Benefits: Helping the Environment: 

The use of grid energy storage is also a great option to save our planet. You see, when we consume more electricity, we often have to produce more energy. That energy is usually generated by burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. They produce toxic gases when burned, which play a large role in global warming and hurt our planet. Climate change is a huge challenge that impacts our climate, wildlife, and even our well-being. But because of grid energy storage, we can use the surplus power we already have rather than needing to create more. This is good because that means we don’t have to burn as many fossil fuels and keep our planet healthy. Grid energy storage can save our home (the earth) and make it a pleasant place for all living creatures like all animals or plants.
