Saint John Energy Employs Smart Grid to Cut Carbon and
Saint John Energy has been doing so for over a century, bringing the latest technology into households for a modest monthly fee, a service they have now tailored to
The battery system may also help Saint John Energy provide power to customers during power outages due to storm events. "Renewable electricity can be reliable at all times of the year, thanks to the latest battery storage technology," said Steven Guilbeault, the federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change.
A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential, electricity, elevated temperature, latent heat and kinetic.
Energy storage involves converting energy from forms that are difficult to store to more conveniently or economically storable forms. Some technologies provide short-term energy storage, while others can endure for much longer. Bulk energy storage is currently dominated by hydroelectric dams, both conventional as well as pumped.
Similar to power-to-liquid and power-to-gas concepts, energy may be stored in solid materials, for example in metals such as iron, aluminium, and non-metallic materials such as sulfur. Energy in the form of electricity or solar heat is stored chemically and can be released on-demand.
