The projected increase in electricity demand is already stimulating solutions that combine traditional supply via the public grid with energy storage.
The rationale is simple! Utility companies often cannot meet - in many new cases - the new total peak demand.
Therefore, combining storage that can be dispatched during peak periods is a very interesting alternative!
An example in the United States showed a data center with 31 MW of batteries capable of dispatching 62 MWh, which is expected to be commercially operational in 2 years.
An incredible scenario, as this type of capacity increase normally requires much more time!
Everyone wins: the consumer who makes their project viable in record time, the utility company that provides the maximum that the infrastructure offers until it is expanded, and best of all: everyone will have better results than the traditional expansion model.
