Managing storage systems
With the pattern “managing storage systems” the function of operating and optimising all kinds of storage services is fulfilled. The storage system may be based on batteries but also by vector conversion technologies that enable long-term storage.
Implementation reference
- Virtual storage for grid services (EON Solar cloud)
- District battery (Oud-Heverlee)
- Storage services for increasing self-consumption (Green Reality)
- Flexibility for peak shaving on consumer level (ThermoVault)
- Centralized energy storage to mitigate fluctuations in energy production (Lemene project)
