Especially with respect to renewable energies, ESS are of high importance as they are used to store the energy generated at a given moment, e. by wind or sun, and make it usable when needed. Thus, ESS help to improve a power grid's utilization, for example, by smoothing load peaks.
Energy storage sites and systems should be kept secure from both physical and cyber-threats, just as with any grid-connected resource. Access to energy storage equipment should be firmly restricted, with sites and/or enclosures secured against very robust attempts at ingress.
Access to energy storage equipment should be firmly restricted, with sites and/or enclosures secured against very robust attempts at ingress. However, contact information for 24-hour response should be provided to ensure quick access, should first-responders need access in the event of an emergency situation.
