Storage power plants are facilities for storing electrical energy, along with plants for the conversion of electricity into hydrogen or synthetic natural gas, and for the purchase of electrical energy until 2020 (ElWOG 2010).

There is almost no storage of energy at power plants. The generator puts out energy at a voltage that doesn't necessarily match the transmission system voltage, so there is a substation associated with the facility that transforms the voltage to the level of the transmission system and energy output is measured at that point as well.
An energy storage plant contributes to balancing the system by taking off 'excess' electricity during periods of oversupply. This prevents network congestion and curtailment of renewable energy production. Such a plant is compensated accordingly in the current system.
A battery storage power plant is a form of storage power plant that uses batteries on an electrochemical basis for energy storage. It primarily serves to cover peak load and in networks with insufficient control power and the grid stabilization.
The use of energy storage systems (ESS) in PV power plants allow an optimal performance in all PV systems applications. For power plants oriented to the self-consumption, ESS allows minimize the exchange with the grid, increasing the percentage of energy used from photovoltaic generation.
