What is energy storage system (ESS)?

From medium scale commercial or residential units to large scale electrical grid installations, energy is stored and stabilized by a set of equipment that includes Lithium-ion batteries, inverters and Power Conditioning Systems (PCS), together called an Energy Storage Systems (ESS). ESS is a mainstay in the smart homes of today.

The energy created by these resources are captured and stored by the ESS, and doing so avoids the breakout of massive frequency fluctuations caused by an excess of power being pumped to the grid, thus providing the network with reliable and quality power.
