These facilities store excess renewable energy from solar and wind by pumping water in a closed-loop system to an upper reservoir when energy is abundant. When energy demand is high, the stored water is released downhill to turn turbines that produce energy. To accelerate the development and deployment of energy storage systems through rigorous research, real-world testing, and collaboration with industry partners. Similar facilities could eventually create a major regional benefit by storing renewable wind and solar energy, helping to balance the electric grid, and controlling the costs of providin when use increases in the evening. How does BESS support the electricity grid? BESS can increase flexibility of the grid, provide backup electricity during power. . Microgrids are small-scale electric grids that can operate independent of or parallel to the larger regional grid and can keep critical community facilities powered during outages.
