Introducing the GSS® Grid Storage SolutionNEC Energy Solutions developed the GSS® platform to deliver advanced energy storage technologies as a complete AC solution, able to provide benefits throughout the electricity grid. NEC Energy Solutions has a proven track record of deploying grid energy storage to support a multitude of applications. As an energy storage system integrator, NEC Energy Solutions evaluates and analyzes various energy storage technologies to understand their characteristics, selecting the right type for each application, while ensuring safe and reliable operation which is critical for grid-connected resources.
Key Benefits
Energy storage helps to prepare the grid to allow easy integration of more renewable generation like photovoltaic (PV) solar power and wind power.
Enable More RenewablesEnergy storage helps to prepare the grid to allow easy integration of more renewable generation like photovoltaic (PV) solar power and wind power.
Toughen the GridResiliency is becoming more and more important in today’s changing environments. Energy storage makes the grid tougher and harder to break.
Flexibility and DispatchabilityEnergy storage has the power to impart incredible flexibility to the electric grid.
As the electric power grid undergoes transformation with the introduction of renewable power like PV or wind, distributed generation like rooftop solar, and emphasis on making the most of our resources, energy storage is becoming an integral part of it, ensuring resiliency, reliability, and efficiency.
As a standalone resource, energy storage can outperform other resources on the grid in critical operations like balancing and ensuring reliability due to faster ramp rate, response time, and precise controllable power output.
In combination with other resources on the grid like generation or T&D (transmission and distribution) infrastructure, energy storage can improve capacity utilization and revenue generation, or reduce the cost of operations and upgrades.
