Behind-the-meter energy storage in china and europe

What is behind the meter energy storage?

Behind-the-meter (BTM) energy storage creates benefits for a large number of stakeholders, enhancing system operation, and mitigating the increase in peak demand, as well as offering potential income from arbitraging peak/off-peak electricity tariff differentials, mitigating demand charges, and other ancillary service sources.

Why are energy storage systems important?

Energy storage systems (ESSs) can help make the most of the opportunities and mitigate the potential challenges. Hence, the installed capacity of ESSs is rapidly increasing, both in front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter (BTM), accelerated by recent deep reductions in ESS costs.

What is behind-the-meter battery energy storage system (BTM)?

Behind-the-meter (BtM) Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have proven a reliable technology able to provide several service while achieving savings and revenues.

What is the European Association for storage of Energy (EASE)?

*** About EASE: The European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) is the leading member - supported association representing organisations active across the entire energy storage value chain. EASE supports the deployment of energy storage to further the cost-effective transition to a resilient, carbon-neutral, and secure energy system.

What are BTM energy storage solutions?

a more responsive and proactive role of consumers in the energy system. Beyond BESS, other BtM energy storage solutions such as Thermal Energy Storage provide consumers with decarbonisation solutions when co-located with renewable technologies.

Are behind-the-meter PV systems worth it?

The real value of behind-the-meter PV systems and the design of feed-in-tariffs for their excess outputs have been and continues to be the source of heated discussion in the energy market.
