Well first off, if the goal is to be 100% renewable energy, why not just rip out the generators and create a solar+storage only system? Unfortunately, at current battery prices, this is still almost entirely unfeasible for budget-constrained projects. Not constrained by interconnection requirements and other bureaucratic hurdles, off-grid systems face the opportunities. . Energy Storage Systems (ESS) have always been an important component of generator systems. In a traditional engine-driven standby generator system, the ESS is the on-site fuel storage, usually diesel or gas. The battery storage capacity allows companies from diferent segments to reduce their dependence on diesel generators, saving them operating costs and reducing their emissions. . An energy storage system (ESS) for electricity generation uses electricity (or some other energy source, such as solar-thermal energy) to charge an energy storage system or device, which is discharged to supply (generate) electricity when needed at desired levels and quality.
