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.
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. The main key to a successful mini- and microgrid is a reliable energy storage solution, including but not limited to batteries .
While storage value has been identified in many cases, three use cases are essential when it comes to off-grid systems: power quality, power reliability, and balancing support. Indeed, energy storage can enable time shifting at the time of excess low cost generation and the release of energy in times of peak demand [7 ].
