This article discussed the key features and potential applications of different electrical energy storage systems (ESSs), battery energy storage systems (BESS), and thermal energy storage (TES) systems. It highlighted the advantages of electrical ESSs, such as positive environmental impact, long life expectancy and flexible operation.
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.
Now that we have a simple grid-tied system, let’s build onto it by adding energy storage. Article 706.2 of the 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC) defines an energy storage system as: “ One or more components assembled together capable of storing energy for use at a future time.
In the absence of Energy Storage, the amount of power generation in a conventional power grid must be drastically scaled up or down (dependent on the occasion) to meet demand, resulting in all of the negative issues associated with the inefficient use of power units.
Abstract: High penetration of renewable energy resources in the power system results in various new challenges for power system operators. One of the promising solutions to sustain the quality and reliability of the power system is the integration of energy storage systems (ESSs).
