Energy storage system

The term energy storage system (ESS) denotes storage systems that are divided into two different application groups:

Storage solutions for private households, also referred to as home storage, are used in combination with private photovoltaic systems. This solution allows generated electricity to be stored until it is needed during periods of little sunlight but high energy demand.

In industrial applications, ESSs are used as a source of emergency power or to stabilize electricity networks.
