Technical FAQs 4

Should substations include battery storage?

By incorporating battery storage, substations can ensure a continuous and reliable power supply, even during emergencies. Maintenance programs must be expanded to include electrical substation maintenance routines specific to energy storage interfaces. Visit our Substation Maintenance training course.

Are battery storage systems reshaping the power landscape?

The transition to renewable energy is reshaping the power landscape, with grid-scale battery storage systems playing a pivotal role in this transformation. These systems are crucial for balancing supply and demand, particularly at the substation level, where they enhance grid stability and resilience.

Should low level distribution systems be managed at the substation level?

Recently, the idea of managing low level distribution systems at the substation level to aid in power system operation has emerged. Authors of 22 presented a substation equipped with ESS as a mobile system.

How do battery storage systems support frequency regulation?

Battery storage systems also support frequency regulation by providing fast and precise adjustments to the grid’s frequency. This helps maintain the power system's stability and prevent outages.
