Samsung SDI Energy Storage System | What is ESS?


ESS is short for
Energy Storage System,
meaning that it can actually
store energy and use the stored
energy whenever the need arises


As the need
for clean energy arises,
the need to replace current
existing power plants
have become a global issue



What is ESS?

1



ESS compensates
for intermittency of renewable
energy, such as wind and solar
To compensate for wind and sunshine’s variability,
energy storage provides stored electricity to the grid and stable power
output from renewable energy sources.
• Reduces output variability
• Improves power quality

ESS helps grid system operators
maintain constant frequency
Energy storage based on Lithium-Ion Battery (LIB) provides reliable and
fast frequency response without being subject to
fuel prices and with zero emissions.
• Fast frequency regulation & ancillary service

ESS can be used for curtailment
of electricity from renewable
energy sources
Due to transmission constraints, currently, ever-increasing portion of
wind generation is being curtailed. Energy storage is the best option for
reducing renewable power curtailment, relieving transmission congestion,
and achieving full utilization of renewable energy sources.

ESS can be used to defer transmission and distribution network (T&D)
upgrades and investment
Using energy storage, upgrade to transmission and
distribution networks can be deferred by
smart management of the local peak demands.
• Transmission support
• Transmission congestion relief
• Area/frequency regulation

ESS enables
commercial & residential
owners to cut energy costs
Electricity stored during off-peak time can be used during on-peak hours so that home/
commercial owners can cut peak demand and electricity cost. ESS integrated with PV can
maximize consumption of solar energy by using electricity stored off-peak.
• Energy cost saving
• Demand management
• Self consumption of solar power

Types of BATTERIES?
Currently battery has become mainstream as technologies such as NaS, Lithium-ion, Lead-acid and flow
batteries have begun to participate in various worldwide projects.
Samsung SDI specializes in manufacturing Lithium-Ion Battery (LIB) which is high in energy density,
voltage, discharge rate and lifespan. In addition, LIB is eco-friendly and has no memory effect, making it
optimal for long term use.
