Reservoir Solutions - Energy Storage Brochure

12 TYPICAL RESERVOIR APPLICATIONS Standalone Applications POWER Generation Transmission Distribution ENERGY Voltage Regulation Compensate anomalies or disturbances (e.g., voltage magnitude, harmonics, etc.) by sending reactive energy into system. Frequency Response Provide fast regulation of grid frequency to balance supply and demand. Frequency Regulation Provide regulation of grid frequency to balance supply and demand based on signals sent by the grid operator. Renewable Integration Balance the local excesses or deficits of renewable generation caused by rapid weather fluctuations. Black Start Energize part of the generation asset without outside assistance after a blackout. Back-Up Store energy to maintain service continuity and grid resilience in the event of an outage. Peak Management Reduce grid capacity needs during peak periods with local storage. Shifting Buy or produce electricity at low price (off-peak) to store and sell at peak price. Capacity Store renewable energy production for peak and base load consumption.
