Energy Storage will be in every home and building

Energy Storage helps you store energy for consumption whenever it is needed. Imagine the possibilities. As the world transitions to cleaner, more intermittent renewable energy systems, energy storage makes this clean energy more flexible and dispatchable when people need it most. Energy Storage is here to stay and will be integrated into every part of our lives.

Now, of course, you need to be efficient about how you consume this stored electricity. Do you know how you charge your phone’s battery at night, wake up excited, and call your friend for an hour or three on Saturday morning? Then your phone tells you it’s time to charge me again. Well, suppose you hadn’t used all that stored energy to have that long conversation. In that case, the battery might have lasted until later in the day, and you would have arrived at that important meeting earlier because you weren’t stuck trying to charge up your battery again - for the third time!! Let’s get real: using stored energy means being smart.

This means having access to smartphone apps or desktop dashboards that help you visualize your energy consumption will help you consume your stored energy more efficiently and thus achieve your desired energy experience. In upcoming articles, we’ll explore how energy efficiency, smart energy systems, apps, and dashboards can help you get the most out of your Battery Energy Storage.
