The stored potential energy is later converted to electricity that is added to the power grid, even when the original energy source is not available. Grid balancing ensures that electricity consumption matches electricity production of an electrical grid at any moment. [1]
Load balancing, load matching, or daily peak demand reserve refers to the use of various techniques by electrical power stations to store excess electrical power during low demand periods for release as demand rises. [1] The aim is for the power supply system to have a load factor of 1.
A balancing authority (BA) is an entity in the US electric system (as well as in parts of Canada and Mexico) that is responsible for grid balancing: resource planning and unit commitment ahead of time, maintenance of the load-interchange-generation balance within a balancing authority area (also known as a control area) and support for real-time load-frequency control.

Less wasted energy: The modeling shows that the use of balancing power allows for enhanced power system optimization, resulting in 88% less wasted energy due to renewable curtailment by 2050, compared with a renewable and energy storage-only pathway. In total, 458 000 TWh of curtailments would be avoided, enough to power the whole world with ...
Load management, also known as demand-side management (DSM), is the process of balancing the supply of electricity on the network with the electrical load by adjusting or controlling the load rather than the power station output. This can be achieved by direct intervention of the utility in real time, by the use of frequency sensitive relays ...
Energy balance (energy economics), verification and analysis of emergence, transformation and use of energy sources within an economic zone Energy economics , where the energy balance of a country is an aggregate presentation of all human activities related to energy, except for natural and biological processes
Ultium Home, Ultium Commercial, and Ultium Charge 360 will help put GM's Ultium battery packs to their most efficient use, with cost savings a possible benefit.
In passive balancing, energy is drawn from the most charged cell and dissipated as heat, usually through resistors. Passive balancing equalizes the state of charge at some fixed point—usually either "top balanced", with all cells reaching 100% SOC at the same time; or "bottom balanced", with all cells reaching minimum SOC at the same time.
