Electrical Energy Storage Systems (Battery Storage)
Powering the Future with Battery Storage
At Great Yarmouth Heating Company, we're all about embracing smarter, greener energy solutions — and battery storage is right at the heart of that future.
Battery storage technology is key to replacing fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy. By storing energy generated from sources like solar and wind, these systems ensure power is available exactly when it’s needed — day or night, sunshine or storm.
Electrical Energy Storage Systems (Battery Storage), act as a bridge between the ups and downs of renewable energy and the steady demand for electricity. Right now, lithium-ion batteries — the same tech that powers your phone or electric vehicle — are leading the way in large-scale energy storage.
We’re proud to be moving forward with this innovation and bringing cutting-edge solutions to residential, commercial, and industrial spaces alike.
How exactly does a battery storage system work?
We are committed to helping homes and businesses make the most of renewable energy. Battery Storage (EESS) is a key part of that journey — enabling clean energy from sources like wind and solar to be stored and used whenever it's needed most.
These systems go far beyond standard household batteries. They’re advanced, high-capacity units powered by intelligent software that carefully manages when to store energy and when to release it back to the grid. This helps reduce strain during peak times, improve energy efficiency, and even lower costs.
Whether you're powering a single home or an entire facility, battery storage helps unlock the full potential of renewable energy.
What are the benefits of Battery Storage (EESS)?
- Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) enhance the efficiency of renewable energy by making it available around the clock — even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing.
- For homes, this technology can offer true energy independence. By storing excess power generated during the day, BESS can continue to supply electricity during the evening, overnight, or during power cuts — even when the national grid goes down.
- If your property remains connected to the grid, battery storage still provides significant benefits. It allows you to maximise your use of self-generated renewable energy, reducing your reliance on grid electricity. This means lower energy bills and a noticeable reduction in your carbon footprint.
Costs, Savings & Maintenance
Investing in an Electrical Energy Storage System is a smart step toward greater energy efficiency, long-term savings, and energy independence. While there is an upfront cost involved, the overall value of EESS lies in its ability to reduce energy bills, lower carbon emissions, and provide reliable backup power.
What Determines the cost of an Electrical Energy Storage System?
- The size and capacity of the system - The larger the system, the more energy it can store, making it ideal for households or businesses with higher energy demands. While these systems require a higher initial investment, they offer greater long-term savings and reliability.
- The type of battery technology used - Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular due to their efficiency, compact size, and long lifespan. Other options, like lead-acid or solid-state batteries, may be considered based on your needs, budget, and performance requirements.
- The type of installation - The installation cost varies based on the type of property. Residential systems are smaller and simpler, while commercial and industrial setups require larger, more complex systems with advanced integration.
- Additional equipment and integration needs - Some installations may need extras like inverters, control panels, or monitoring software, which can increase costs but are essential for optimal efficiency and long-term performance.
Investing in a Electrical Energy Storage System (battery Storage) offers several significant advantages:
- Substantial energy bill savings - reduce annual energy bills by up to 85%, leading to considerable financial savings over time.
- Enhanced energy independence - by storing excess energy, Electrical Energy Storage Systems allows for greater autonomy from the national grid, providing backup power during outages and reducing reliance on grid electricity.
- Optimized use of renewable energy - when paired with renewable sources like solar panels, Electrical Energy Storage Systems enables the storage of surplus energy, ensuring its availability during non-productive periods and maximizing the return on renewable investments.
- Peak demand management - Electrical Energy Storage Systems assists in managing peak energy demands by discharging stored energy during high-demand periods, potentially lowering electricity costs associated with peak rates.
These benefits collectively highlight the value of integrating a Electrical Energy Storage System into your energy strategy, offering economic, environmental, and reliability improvements.
