This could include building energy managers, facility managers, and property managers in a variety of sectors. A variety of incentives, metering capabilities, and financing options exist for installing energy storage at a facility, all of which can influence the financial feasibility of a storage project.
For all of the technologies listed, as long as appropriate high voltage safety procedures are followed, energy storage systems can be a safe source of power in commercial buildings. For more information on specific technologies, please see the DOE/EPRI Electricity Storage Handbook available at: TABLE 1. COMMON COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES
Thermal energy storage (TES) is one of several approaches to support the electrification and decarbonization of buildings. To electrify buildings eficiently, electrically powered heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment such as a heat pump can be integrated with TES systems.
Energy storage can be procured directly from “upstream” technology providers, or from “downstream” integration and service companies (FIGURE 2) Error! Reference source not found.. Upstream companies provide the storage technology, power conversion system, thermal management system, and associated software.
Therefore, adopting an integrated approach through architectural, site planning, landscaping, and engineering in active design measures (refer to Section 2.2) in designing energy-efficient buildings would optimise energy efficiency. The basic approach to good passive design is to orient, shade, insulate, ventilate, and daylight buildings.
By serving as both generation and load, energy storage can provide benefits to both consumers and the grid as a whole. For most commercial customers, the primary energy storage applications are: Depending on the local utility, some ESSs can also generate revenue by providing services to the larger grid.
