In the graphic shown here you can see a map of the world that shows the current supply situation with regard to electricity. With a click on a country you can see the origin of the electricity according to primary energy sources. On the right side you can differentiate between "production" and "consumption". The real-time graphics are provided by the Danish-French company "Tomorrow" and can be used freely as an open source tool.
Often people think of e-vehicles, laptops or smartphones when they think of "batteries". But batteries in the form of stationary storage systems will also play a decisive role in the future for the energy transition.

Stationary electrochemical energy storage functions as intermediate storage for renewable energy sources, such as wind and sun, as these are not available at all times. There are essentially three fields of application for stationary storage:
(1) They are ideally suited for grid stabilization, as they can immediately compensate for frequency fluctuations in the power grid.
(2) Households and companies supply themselves with electricity. They are self-sufficient from the central power grid. For example, a battery storage system can temporarily store self-generated solar power during the day for later consumption in the evening. In an industrial context, it is also attractive to use your own electricity from battery storage systems to achieve lower network charges.
(3) They also provide infrastructure services, such as the so-called black start capability (i.e. the restoration of the power supply in the event of a major power failure).
