Roles
| Function | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Peak shave | Smaller gen |
| Renewable smoothing | Stable freq |
| Backup | Islanding |
Design
- Size to peak and ramp, not just energy.
- Use a grid-forming inverter/controller.
- Link with battery application solutions and a home energy storage system layer.
