Energy storage power supply forum

What's in a power supply discussion?

Discussions about power supply design and various types of batteries. All things electric vehicles and electromobility - batteries, power, charging, and more. Discussions about the topics surrounding AC/DC conversion, voltage and frequency. Discussions about power management systems and their design.

What is the future of energy storage?

Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.

Why do we need a co-optimized energy storage system?

The need to co-optimize storage with other elements of the electricity system, coupled with uncertain climate change impacts on demand and supply, necessitate advances in analytical tools to reliably and efficiently plan, operate, and regulate power systems of the future.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible.

What is a power Forum?

A General discussion forum about anything power related. Discussions about power supply design and various types of batteries. All things electric vehicles and electromobility - batteries, power, charging, and more. Discussions about the topics surrounding AC/DC conversion, voltage and frequency.

Are lithium-ion batteries a good choice for energy storage?

Lithium-ion batteries are being widely deployed in vehicles, consumer electronics, and more recently, in electricity storage systems. These batteries have, and will likely continue to have, relatively high costs per kWh of electricity stored, making them unsuitable for long-duration storage that may be needed to support reliable decarbonized grids.
