As demand for electricity becomes ever greater, the need to store energy (as well as produce it) also does. Like all electrical installations, energy storage systems need application-specific protection. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are now a mature technology.
Battery storage systems store excess energy produced by Renewable Energy systems such as PV or Wind and store it for use when needed. This counterbalances the fluctuation between energy production and demand for electricity.
Surge protective devices (SPDs) is required in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) BESS systems contain AC/DC converters and battery banks implemented in concrete constructions or in metallic containers.
Power storage systems are one of the key technologies of the energy revolution as they make it possible to store locally produced electricity on-site. The container battery storage systems store the power generated, e.g., by photovoltaic systems and wind turbines, and feed it back on demand.
Surge protectors on the AC part are also recommended, as well as air conditioning to cool the batteries. The critical point is the protection of the battery storage system, for this reason, and with the following consequences: LSP’s R&D teams have developed specific products to protect your ESS equipment against over-voltages.
The Energy Storage System (ESS) responds, either, to a financial issue to improve energy management (peak management/frequency regulation) or to an ecological issue pushing for energetic transition phenomena. Through the energy storage system, green energy production becomes more efficient.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023.
