Principle and application of Taipower energy storage system

Energy storage system. As Taiwan moves towards its low-carbon and climate goals, it is actively developing green power and pursuing the installation of an energy storage system (ESS). Upon completion, the system will not only smooth green power generation, but also maintain frequency stability in the power system.

This article discussed the key features and potential applications of different electrical energy storage systems (ESSs), battery energy storage systems (BESS), and thermal energy storage (TES) systems. It highlighted the advantages of electrical ESSs, such as positive environmental impact, long life expectancy and flexible operation.

Established as the first "solar power storage system", the storage system, which officially opened today (January 6), integrates green energy and boasts a capacity of 20 MW (megawatts), making it the largest storage system in Taiwan. According to Taipower, the energy storage system features fast charging and discharging, which assists in the .

An energy storage system can increase peak power supply, reduce backup capacity, and has other multiple benefits such as the function of cutting peaks and filling valleys. Advanced countries have also begun to list energy storage as a key development industry. In Taiwan, energy storage is a new and developing industry.

In order to stabilize RE output, Taipower plans to build 1000 MW of grid-side energy storage in 2025, including 160 MW in self-built power-type battery energy storage systems as well as 340 MW in power applications and 500 MW in composite applications purchased from private energy storage companies through Taipower's power trading platform.
