This calls for smart and efficient power transmission/distribution networks and energy storage to provide a balance between generation and consumption, and to maintain grid stability. Storage is critical to smart grid technology due to its role in complementing renewable energy sources.
More importantly, the moment-to-moment fluctuations of the modern grid require energy storage systems with more flexibility and faster response times. Recent years have shown that battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are ideally suited for smart grid purposes.
An increasingly smart electricity grid will enable effective integration and dispatch of renewables and distributed resources The storage opportunity involves numerous stakeholders. Understanding their interests and relationships are critical since the benefits do not all accrue to the same stakeholder.
Smart grid coupled with energy storage systems increases demand elasticity while also disconnecting the simultaneity of production and consumption. Together, these services balance supply and demand while allowing a continual increase of renewables on the grid.
This paper also discusses different types of EST experimentally tested in smart grid environment such as electrochemical batteries, ultra-capacitors and kinetic energy storage systems. Grid services that energy storage could provide are explained in terms of primary application, state of technology and challenges in this paper.
