Blue Horizons Project Setting the course for clean energy Battery Storage Technology Presentation Battery Storage Introduction The electricity y gener erat ated ed by Duke e Utility y power er plants in Ashevi eville e City and Buncom
The electricity y gener erat ated ed by Duke e Utility y power er plants in Ashevi eville e City and Buncom combe be County nty will now start t to be stored d in battery y systems. s. Storing ng electricity y in batter ery y storage age system ems s connect ected ed to the utility y energy gy grids s allows for that energy gy to be used d at a later time. e.
A battery y stores s electrici city y to be used at any given n time of demand.
d electricity y can come e from any energy gy source, includ uding ng solar, wind, d, wave, e, tidal, geother hermal al as well as burni ning ng fossi sil fuel els. s. Electri ricity y produ duced ed by Duke e Energy rgy utility y power r plant nts s can charg rge e batter eries es when n energy gy demand and is low and redist stribut ute e it during ng peak load times es which decreases eases the cost of energy gy for custom
ers and stabi bilize zes s the grid.

all batt tteri eries es in homes mes and busi sine nesses sses as well as larg rge e scale ale batt ttery ery syste tems s make e the utility ty energ rgy grid more re stab able, e, efficien ent, t, lower er cost st and offer er clean ean, , renewa ewable e energ ergy for every ryone ne.
You can purchas hase e smal all batter ery y system em for your home, e, like the Tesla a Power er Wall, for $5,000 with 13 KWh, enough gh energy rgy to power r most st homes es for a week. Stored energy can be sold back to the utility’s electric grid, which reduces your cost for energy rgy. .
Our Commun unity y in Ashevi eville e and Buncom
be Count nty y is committed ed to creating ng a cleaner ner, smart arter er and more e affordabl
e energy gy future ure. Taking g the initiat ative ve to start using g batter ery y storage age in our homes es and busines nesses, ses, espec ecial ally y those e power ered ed by renew ewabl able e energies es like solar and wind, helps s more e clean n energy gy find its way y to the grid to be distribu buted ed to all of our commun unity. y. Batter ery y storage age leads s to a bright hter er, cleaner ner world d of energy gy for all of us.
Yes you can purchas hase e batter eries es for storing g solar energy gy for just a few hundr dred ed dollars.
y only power your home e for a few hours.
ery y system em cost will increase ease with the amoun unt of energy rgy that can be stored. ed.
Yes, s, as long as the batter eries es are charged ed by solar panels s at the home e or business. ness.
Wind turbines nes along g with wave e and tidal gener erat ators rs can be connec ected ed in a similar ar way to solar energy.
hermal al energy gy would d be a little more e complex ex.
