The success of decarbonisation and the transition to mostly or totally consuming renewable energies depends on their stability throughout the day. Green energy production, as well as its storage, must be optimised to control how it is fed into the electricity grid and prevent issues due to its intermittency. This is where energy storage solutions such as BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) or thermal storage come into play, the combined use of which will help to renew the current grid to ensure mostly clean energy is being used.
