EVs (electric vehicles) are all set to become the future of mobility! With a turnover worth billions of dollars worldwide, EVs are steadily taking over the global automobile horizon. India alone aims for nearly 1/3rd of all vehicle sales to be electric by the end of this decade!
However, EVs require specific infrastructure that includes charging stations. And with those stations comes the need for energy (electricity). Relying on conventional electricity that already has a lot to cater to isn’t a wise idea. We need solar energy-powered stations with energy storage systems to reduce dependence on regular electricity and save millions on EV charging. Here’s a blog emphasizing the need for battery energy storage systems in India
What is an Energy Storage System?
An energy storage system helps store energy that you can use later. It helps manage power supply, enhance grid reliability, and improve efficiency. The key components of these systems include the following.
- Power Conversion System: It converts energy into different forms. For instance, electrical to chemical energy in batteries.
- Storage Medium: Devices like thermal storage or batteries form storage mediums. This is where the system stores the energy.
- Safety Systems: These ensure safe functioning by monitoring and controlling temperature, pressure, and other crucial aspects.
- Control System: It enables energy storage operational management, including charging and discharging cycles.
Energy storage system benefit you in various ways. They help increase energy efficiency by storing excess energy, ensuring a steady power supply, improving grid stability, and also reduce environmental impact. However, they have commercial benefits as well. Energy storage solutions lower energy costs by optimizing energy. In the case of EVs in particular, they help reduce EV charging costs, thus making EV transport more affordable and encouraging the adoption of electric mobility.
Making EV Mobility Even Cheaper than Energy Storage System
Energy storage solutions, especially those running on solar power, harness the power of renewable energy to charge the vehicle. While helping you generate clean energy, they also eliminate the need to buy electricity from the grid. So, that’s one way how solar energy storage systems save costs.
In addition to the above, energy storage systems store excess energy solar panels generate and use it to charge your vehicle. Thus, fundamentally, it is about storing energy and using it instead of depending on traditional electricity. This way, you can charge your EV without paying anything for the energy you use. Of course, that requires you to invest in a solar power setup, including a battery storage unit. However, you realize these savings in the long run when you recover the initial investment through the money you save in charging your electric vehicle.
