Energy Storage Systems

The integration of a properly selected battery-based energy storage system into a photovoltaic installation provides significant advantages, especially in the current energy context. Safety and Energy Autonomy Energy storage systems ensure backup power in the event of a grid outage and maintain the operation of critical equipment. By storing solar energy produced during the day, they allow you to:

• optimise the level of self-consumption;
• reduce dependence on the electricity grid;
• better control and forecast electricity expenses.

Depending on the needs and configuration of the site, such solutions can provide partial or near-complete energy autonomy, increasing the resilience and stability of the entire system. Stabilisation of the Photovoltaic System Integrating a battery enables the stabilisation and optimisation of the solar installation’s performance. The battery:

• smooths production fluctuations;
• limits peak injection into the grid;
• protects inverters;
• improves power quality by stabilising system voltage and frequency.

Reduction of Carbon Footprint Storing solar energy significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the energy system. This makes it possible to:

• decrease consumption of electricity from fossil sources;
• reduce the use of diesel generators;
• minimise losses associated with electricity transmission through the grid.

Possible System Operating Modes

➤ Hybrid mode (grid + battery):
• solar energy production;
• battery charging/discharging;
• power supply from the grid;
• optional: backup diesel generator.

➤ Autonomous mode (off-grid):
• solar energy production;
• storage in battery systems;
• backup diesel generator.

➤ Backup mode:
• automatic power supply in case of grid outage.
