Energy warehouses are necessary when the participation of windmills and photovoltaic panels in the energy system is increased. The main goal of the magazines will be to store energy produced at the time of overproduction (too large wind, peri -south hours for photovoltaics in the summer), i.e. at lower market prices, and sales when prices are higher, i.e. usually in the evening of the same day.
