Optimize Your Energy Use with Energy Storage Solutions from Iconergy
As the global transition to renewable energy sources continues, the need for effective energy storage solutions is becoming increasingly important. Energy storage is essential when balancing the variability of renewable energy sources, providing backup power during outages, and managing energy demand. Storing energy simply makes sense for the modern era, not only for renewable energy storage but also for energy management.
At Iconergy, we offer a range of energy storage services to help you achieve energy independence and efficiency. From better energy management to optimizing your on-site renewables, here’s everything you need to know about energy storage.
Energy storage is the process of capturing and storing energy for later use. Energy storage systems can store electricity generated by renewable energy sources such as solar or wind, or from the grid during periods of low demand.
Energy storage can come in a variety of forms, including batteries, pumped hydroelectric, compressed air, flywheels, and thermal storage. Lithium-ion batteries are the most common medium for end-use applications.
Energy storage systems can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
Integration of Renewable Energy – Energy storage systems can store excess electricity generated by renewable energy sources during periods of low demand and release it during periods of high demand. This helps balance the variable
Backup Power & Resilience – Energy storage systems provide backup power during outages, ensuring critical systems remain operational and enhancing operational resiliency.
Energy Management – Energy storage systems can be used to manage energy demand and reduce peak demand charges, which can account for a significant portion of your monthly energy bills (more on this later)!
At Iconergy, we take a customized approach to energy storage. We don’t believe in templatized projects, especially when it comes to energy storage. We design energy storage systems for the unique needs of our clients, and we do not promote specific vendors or products. This ensures your energy storage system will be safe, appropriate for your uses, and reliable.
A typical energy storage project includes the following steps:
Based on the results of our energy assessment, we’ll design an energy storage system that meets your specific needs. We’ll account for factors such as energy storage capacity, discharge time, and system efficiency in our design.
We’ll provide professional installation services, ensuring they are installed safely and efficiently. We’ll monitor and maintain your new energy storage system to ensure there are no issues.
Energy storage is key to the success of renewable energy systems in your building, but that’s not all! As we mentioned earlier, energy storage can help you manage energy demand, reduce energy costs, and more.
Energy storage is critical to integrating renewable energy sources such as solar and wind into the electric grid. Energy storage systems can store excess electricity generated during periods of low demand and release it during periods of high demand. This ensures a stable energy supply.
Energy storage systems can provide backup power during outages, ensuring critical systems remain operational.
Energy storage systems can help you reduce peak demand charges (fees for the highest level of use during a billing period), which can often be tremendous. A study by the Clean Energy Group found that peak demand charges can account for as much as 30-70% of a commercial business’ monthly energy bill!
Energy storage can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the on-site use of renewable energy sources and reducing the need for grid electricity derived from fossil fuels.
Years ago, Iconergy identified energy storage and microgrids as an essential part of the future of energy management and began proposing such systems to our customers. Whether you’re utilizing microgrids or not, how you manage your energy use is crucial, and energy storage can help.
Our team specializes in energy storage solutions for schools, hospitals, and other multi-structure campuses, where the ability to manage energy and store it for emergency situations is paramount. We’ve installed energy storage units on all kinds of commercial buildings, and they always pay off. Your energy use is worth managing, and the experts at Iconergy are here to help.
