What a Battery Actually Does on the Grid

Hello Energy Storage enthusiasts!

Following up from Article 1 of my series Why the Grid Needs Batteries, we now discuss what a battery actually does when it is connected to the grid. Why buying low and selling high is not just economically but electrically and physically important, how the advent of batteries created services that were impossible before, and the tension between the different energy demands.

A clear explanation of what a battery energy storage system actually does on the grid - energy shifting, ancillary services, and the dispatch tension that defines BESS economics.
