A Highlight of WESD

The Autumnal equinox occurs on 22rd September and the day and night are of approximately equal duration i.e. the day is balanced.

Energy storage has played a huge role in grid balancing, power supply-demand management and frequency regulation and to acknowledge the balancing effects of Energy Storage, 22nd September was chosen as an apt date for the World Energy Storage Day.
