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.
Energy storage is a solution for addressing these concerns. The third chapter describes the various roles and applications of energy storage in a grid. The applications are grouped into four clusters—bulk energy services, ancillary services, dispatch-ability, and transmission and distribution deferral.
The intended audiences of the report are investors, developers, utility planners, power sector policy makers, and others who want to understand the important role energy storage is likely to play in the smart grid of the future.
Sometimes, the ESS can support the power grids at the generation side by absorbing the overplus energy to prevent output spikes. ESS can also deliver the stored energy to recover the output drop. This application of ESS can greatly reduce the power quality issue from the distribution side [6, 51].
At the same time, it is also important to classify grid applications of ESS by their working principles for gaining benefits. From the perspective of power systems, ESS contribute three types of resources: power regulation, energy storage and release, and capacity resource.
Fast acting and bidirectional energy storage can stabilize the grid by storing and delivering energy within a few microseconds; the types of energy storage devices that have these capabilities include electrochemical batteries like lithium-ion, flywheel, and capacitors.
