Energy storage systems find their quintessential application at the user end in the realm of industrial and commercial enterprises.
Classified by end-users, the energy storage industry predominantly caters to power generation, grid management, and end-user demands. Among these, user-end storage bifurcates into residential and industrial-commercial categories. The primary rationale behind industrial and commercial entities opting for energy storage revolves around meeting internal power demands, capitalizing on peak-hour electricity price differentials to curtail operational costs, and serving as backup power reserves during unforeseen outages. Furthermore, when integrated with solar photovoltaic (PV) setups, energy storage facilitates maximal self-consumption of solar-generated power, thereby significantly enhancing the assimilation rate of clean energy.
Industrial and commercial energy storage systems are characterized by modular design and flexible voltage-capacity configurations. The core components of these systems encompass batteries, battery management systems (BMS), power conversion systems (PCS), energy management systems (EMS), and assorted electrical components.
**Industrial and Commercial Energy Storage Architecture**
The architecture of energy storage stations can be delineated into AC-coupled and hybrid solar-storage units.
AC-coupled energy storage configurations employing PCS align closely with the standard energy storage station setup. In this setup, PCS inverters predominantly feature bidirectional power flow. Notably, in small to medium-scale industrial and commercial energy systems, there is a burgeoning adoption of 50-100kW hybrid solar-storage units. A comparative analysis reveals that while AC-coupled storage incurs higher costs, it offers superior flexibility. For instance, integrating an energy storage system into an existing PV setup necessitates only the addition of batteries and bidirectional inverters, leaving the original PV system unaffected. On the other hand, DC-coupled solutions entail lower costs and are well-suited for users with lower daytime loads but higher nocturnal demands.
**Applications of Industrial and Commercial Energy Storage**
1. **Stand-Alone Energy Storage**: Employed for peak shaving to economize on electricity expenses or as backup power reserves, primarily in factories, shopping malls, and similar establishments.
2. **Integrated Solar-Storage Solutions**: Construction of integrated solar-storage stations on limited land parcels, utilizing rooftop and parking lot photovoltaics. Post integration of energy storage systems, these setups achieve "self-consumption with surplus storage," effectively mitigating the grid impact of charging stations.
3. **Microgrids + Energy Storage**: Microgrids are perceived as controllable units within the power grid, capable of reacting within seconds to meet the energy demands of external transmission and distribution networks. They serve as viable solutions for energy needs in densely populated areas such as islands, suburban residential zones, and industrial parks. By establishing microgrids in load-concentrated regions and leveraging energy storage systems for energy storage, these systems ensure uninterrupted power supply during transient outages. For off-grid microgrids, energy storage smoothens the integration of renewable energy sources and acts as backup power, while for grid-connected microgrids, energy storage primarily focuses on energy optimization and emission reduction.
In the contemporary landscape of energy dynamics, industrial and commercial energy storage emerges as a pivotal player, not just in optimizing operations but also in facilitating the seamless integration of renewable energy sources, thereby propelling the transition towards a sustainable energy ecosystem.
