Energy storage systems (ESSs) in the electric power networks can be provided by a variety of techniques and technologies.
In the past decade, energy storage systems (ESSs) as one of the structural units of the smart grids have experienced a rapid growth in both technical maturity and cost effectiveness. These devices propose diverse applications in the power systems especially in distribution networks.
In general, storage systems are categorized based on two factors namely storage medium (type of the energy stored) and storage (discharge) duration. In the first type classification, the ESSs are divided to mechanical, chemical, and electrical storage systems based on the form in which the energy is stored.
For distribution networks, an ESS converts electrical energy from a power network, via an external interface, into a form that can be stored and converted back to electrical energy when needed , , . The electrical interface is provided by a power conversion system and is a crucial element of ESSs in distribution networks , .
