Electrical energy storage systems (EESS) for electrical installations are becoming more prevalent. EESS provide storage of electrical energy so that it can be used later. The approach is not new: EESS in the form of battery-backed uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) have been used for many years. EESS are starting to be used for other purposes.
traction, e.g. in an electric vehicle. For further reading, and a more in-depth insight into the topics covered here, the IET’s Code of Practice for Energy Storage Systems provides a reference to practitioners on the safe, effective and competent application of electrical energy storage systems.
