Abstract: This paper presents the updated status of energy storage (ES) technologies, and their technical and economical characteristics, so that, the best technology can be selected either for grid-connected or off-grid power system applications.
While mentions of large tied-grid energy storage technologies will be made, this chapter focuses on off-grid storage systems in the perspective of rural and island electrification, which means in the context of providing energy services in remote areas. The electrical load of power systems varies significantly with both location and time.
In off-grid applications, ES can be used to balance the generation and consumption, to prevent frequency and voltage deviations. Due to the widespread use of battery energy storage (BES), the paper further presents various battery models, for power system economic analysis, reliability evaluation, and dynamic studies.
1. Introduction: the challenges of energy storage Energy storage is one of the most promising options in the management of future power grids, as it can support the discharge periods for stand-alone applications such as solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind turbines.
In conclusion, energy storage systems play a crucial role in modern power grids, both with and without renewable energy integration, by addressing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, improving grid stability, and enabling efficient energy management.
