Balcony energy storage, green living and self-sufficiency!
Indoor home energy storage and balcony energy storage are new energy storage solutions that have been gaining attention in recent years as energy technology develops and environmental awareness increases. The following is a detailed analysis of these two types of energy storage:
I. Indoor home energy storage
Indoor home energy storage systems are usually installed inside the home to store electricity to provide a backup power source in the event of a grid outage or unstable power supply. This type of system generally consists of an energy storage battery, a battery management system (BMS), an energy storage converter (PCS) and an energy management system (EMS).
Advantages:
Provides a backup power source to enhance the independence and reliability of home energy supply.
Saves electricity costs, especially in areas with large differences in peak and valley tariffs, which can be reduced by charging during the low hours and discharging during the peak hours.
Disadvantages:
Higher initial investment cost.
Need to occupy a certain amount of indoor space.
There are problems such as battery performance degradation and safety risks.
Balcony energy storage
Balcony energy storage system makes full use of the limited space resources of the family balcony, solar photovoltaic panels, storage batteries, inverters and intelligent controllers and other components are installed on the balcony to form a small micro-photovoltaic storage system.
Composition and working principle:
Solar photovoltaic panel: efficiently captures sunlight on the balcony and converts it into DC electrical energy.
Storage Battery: Stores excess electricity generated by the PV panels during the day for use at night or on cloudy days when there is insufficient light.
Inverter: Converts DC power into AC power for household appliances. It also converts AC power to DC power and stores it in the battery when charging.
Intelligent controller: monitors the power generation of the PV panels, the charging and discharging status of the batteries, and the household electrical load, and intelligently controls the power generation of the PV panels, the charging and discharging of the batteries, and the operation of the inverter according to preset procedures and algorithms.
Advantages:
Make full use of balcony space without taking up valuable indoor living area.
Provides green, clean energy, helping to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment.
Relatively easy to install and does not require large-scale site modification and construction.
Enables remote monitoring and intelligent control through smart controllers, improving ease of use and user experience.
Disadvantages and Challenges:
The initial investment cost is also relatively high.
Power generation efficiency may be affected by factors such as balcony area, orientation and light conditions.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of components such as PV panels and storage batteries are required to ensure their proper operation and prolong their service life.
III. Development Trend and Prospect
With the continuous progress of technology and the gradual reduction of cost, indoor home energy storage and balcony energy storage systems are expected to be widely used in more households.
Especially the balcony energy storage system, which makes full use of the limited space resources of the home balcony and provides a green and clean energy solution, in line with the concept of sustainable development. In the future,
with the continuous development of smart home technology, balcony energy storage systems are also expected to be seamlessly integrated with smart home systems to better manage and optimise home energy use.
In summary, indoor home energy storage and balcony energy storage systems have their own advantages and disadvantages, and users can choose the appropriate energy storage solution according to their actual needs and conditions. Meanwhile, with the continuous progress of technology and market development,
these two energy storage solutions are expected to be widely used and promoted in more areas.
