Electrical Energy Storage, EES, is one of the key technologies in the areas covered by the IEC. EES techniques have shown unique capabilities in coping with some critical characteristics of electricity, for example hourly variations in demand and price.
As a consequence, to guarantee a safe and stable energy supply, faster and larger energy availability in the system is needed. This survey paper aims at providing an overview of the role of energy storage systems (ESS) to ensure the energy supply in future energy grids.
As a consequence, the electrical grid sees much higher power variability than in the past, challenging its frequency and voltage regulation. Energy storage systems will be fundamental for ensuring the energy supply and the voltage power quality to customers.
The first two terms in the objective function, \ (\kappa ^Q\bar Q + \kappa ^S\bar S\), reflect the cost of building energy storage. Energy storage is assumed to have a capital cost that can depend on its power and energy capacities, with κQ denoting the power-capacity cost (given in $ per MW) and κS the energy-capacity cost (given in $ per MWh).
The magnitude of the effects depends on the composition of consumers of electrical and thermal energy, their daily load profiles, and the structure of the energy supply system. This, in turn, affects the choice of type, number, capacity, and location of storages in the energy supply system.
DC connection The majority of energy storage systems are based on DC systems (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells). For this reason, connecting in parallel at DC level more storage technologies allows to save an AC/DC conversion stage, and thus improve the system efficiency and reduce costs.
