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.

solutionsFor the equipment manufacturer— By 2030, battery energy storage installed capacity is estimated to be 93,000 MW in the United States.1 The significant growth of this technology will play a major role in the t
For our purposes, we will define electrical energy as the energy that is stored in an electric or a magnetic field. Our emphasis here will be to consider how the conservation of energy principle applies to devices and systems commonly found in electrical and electronic devices.
