Application scenarios of energy storage batteries
The application scenarios of energy storage batteries are very wide, covering many fields from power systems to transportation, from industrial production to residents’ lives. The following is a detailed summary of the main application scenarios of energy storage batteries:
First, the power system
Peak and frequency modulation: the energy storage battery can release electric energy at the peak of the power load, and charge and store electric energy at the trough, so as to balance the supply and demand of the grid, reduce the fluctuation of the grid, and improve the stability of the grid.
Backup power supply: In the case of power grid failure or power failure, the energy storage battery can be used as a backup power supply to provide emergency power support for important facilities and ensure the continuous operation of the power system.
Microgrid and distributed energy: The combination of energy storage batteries and distributed energy sources (such as solar energy and wind energy) can form a microgrid system, improve energy self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on traditional power grids.
Second, transportation
Electric vehicles: Energy storage batteries are the core components of electric vehicles, which are used to store electrical energy and provide power. With the rapid growth of the electric vehicle market, energy storage battery technology has also been rapidly developed.
Hybrid vehicles and electric bicycles: Energy storage batteries are also suitable for vehicles such as hybrid vehicles and electric bicycles to improve energy efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions.
Public transportation system: In the field of bus system, rail transit and other fields, energy storage batteries can be used for charging stations of electric buses, as well as brake energy recovery and emergency power supply of rail transit trains.
Third, industry and commerce
Factory park energy storage: The factory park has a large area, and the electricity demand fluctuates greatly. The energy storage battery can be charged and stored in the low price of electricity, and discharged in the peak time to achieve peak valley arbitrage and reduce the cost of electricity for enterprises.
Data center backup power supply: The energy storage battery can be used as the backup power supply of the data center to ensure the normal operation of the data center in the event of a power outage and ensure data security.
Commercial complexes and new energy charging stations: The deployment of energy storage systems inside commercial complexes or in areas such as parking lots can realize fast charging services for electric vehicles, and optimize the charging load curve of electric vehicles through the energy storage system. At the same time, the energy storage system can also be combined with the photovoltaic power generation system to form an integrated optical storage and charge system, reducing electricity costs and reducing carbon emissions.
Fourth, residents’ life
Home energy storage systems: With the popularity of photovoltaic systems, home energy storage systems are becoming more and more popular. It can store the electricity collected by solar panels for use by families at night or on cloudy days, reducing reliance on the grid and reducing energy costs.
Portable electronic devices: Energy storage batteries can also be used as a power source for portable electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc., to provide long-term power support.
Fifth, other special applications
Power supply in islands and remote areas: in islands or remote areas, due to the lack of grid coverage or unstable power supply, energy storage batteries can be used as an independent or auxiliary power supply system to provide stable and reliable power support for local residents and enterprises.
Military and aerospace applications: In the military and aerospace fields, energy storage batteries also play an important role. They can provide lasting and stable power support for military equipment, satellites, etc., to ensure the normal operation of equipment.
To sum up, the application scenarios of energy storage batteries are very wide, and with the continuous progress of technology and the reduction of costs, its application prospects will be broader.
