FAQS 4

Will a battery help the grid?

The grid is good, it will just be used in a different way in the future to support an energy system where consumers will have more control over how they make, use, store and share energy,” says Terry. Terry says he wanted a battery to maximise use of their own solar electricity and increase the household's grid independence.

What are on grid battery energy storage applications?

Typical On Grid Battery Energy Storage Applications: Voltage Synchronization: Grid-following PCSs continuously monitor the grid’s voltage waveform. They adjust the output voltage of the BESS to match the grid’s voltage, ensuring that the energy injected into the grid is at the correct voltage level.

Should you choose an off-grid electricity system?

Renew Energy Analyst Andrew Reddaway says that most households only chose an off-grid electricity system out of necessity. “For many remote properties, there's no choice other than to go off-grid, with the cost of connecting to the grid higher than installing even a large independent energy system.

Why do we want to stay connected to the grid?

“In the end we decided that we wanted to stay connected to the grid. The grid is good, it will just be used in a different way in the future to support an energy system where consumers will have more control over how they make, use, store and share energy,” says Terry.
