Topic: Grid energy storage

	PowerPedia:Energy storage - PESWiki
		Energy storage (or power storage) is the storing of some form of energy that can be drawn upon at a later time to perform some useful operation.
		Energy storage as a natural process is billions of years old - the energy produced in the initial creation of the Universe has been stored in stars such as our Sun, and is now being used by humans directly (e.g.
		Grid energy storage is the use of various energy storage techniques to complement electric power generation plants on the transmission grid.

	Grid energy storage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is called grid energy storage as the user uses the grid instead of arranging storage, which may not be economically feasible.
		Energy storage is economical when the marginal cost of electricity varies more than the energy losses of storing and retrieving it.
		However, as a storage medium, it may be a significant factor in using renewable energies, See Hydrogen storage.

	Energy Storage
		Renewable energy, because of its intermittent nature, needs medium term storage of to keep going "between the sparks" of the order of a few days.
		A large bank of storage heaters is used to lengthen the storage period to a few days (rather than overnight which storage heaters are normally used for).
		The exception for the need of energy storage is when you are using a grid connected system - see our systems page for more info.

	Energy Storage
		Energy storage systems are enabling technologies; their goal is to enhance and extend the operating capabilities of other assets on the grid.
		Generally, renewable energy sources are intermittent or vary in intensity throughout the day, with much of the potential for generated power not coincident with the peak demand.
		Two issues make or break most projects: first, 'properly sizing and dispatching the energy storage to achieve an economically optimal system (lowest lifecycle cost of energy)'; and secondly, 'designing the power converter interface between the AC power bus and the energy storage to be efficient, reliable and robust'.

	Peak Energy: Richard Smalley And Smart Grids
		Energy Bulletin posted a good excerpt a while ago from a paper by Smalley called "Future global energy prosperity: the Terawatt Challenge" (pdf) which looked at peak oil and the top 10 global challenges.
		Energy topped his list of the challenges facing us (he noted "energy is the key to solving all of the rest of the problems—from water to population"), with the others as follows:
		Of course, the distributed energy grid is a vision that is shared by many other people, with Jamais at WorldChanging running occasional pieces on what he calls "Smart Grids".

	National Grid - Energy Saving Tips
		It is important to remember that in addition to natural gas costs, weather dramatically affects your energy usage bills.
		When temperatures drop, you use more energy to heat your home and business, and energy conservation becomes very important.
		Install dimmer or occupancy switches where appropriate to lower energy use such as in stairwells, copy rooms, restrooms.

	HP Labs : Tech Report: HPL-2002-329: Energy Aware Grid: Global
		Abstract: The concept of Grid, based on coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi- institutional virtual organizations, is emerging as the new paradigm in distributed and pervasive computing for scientific as well as commercial applications.
		The coefficient, evaluated by the data center's resource allocation manager, is a complex function of the data center thermal management infrastructure and the seasonal and diurnal variations.
		A detailed procedure for implementation of a test case is provided with an estimate of energy savings to justify the economic viability of such a proposition.
