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 ].

In order to address evolving energy demands such as those of electric mobility, energy storage systems are crucial in contemporary smart grids. By utilizing a variety of technologies including electromechanical, chemical, thermal, and electrochemical (batteries), energy storage offers flexibility and potential for remote places .
A second challenge is that the literature on the environmental impacts of grid and off-grid systems is limited in its scope and coverage of the full range of impacts. The analysis generally focusses on GHG emissions impacts and on the environmental consequences of electricity generation only.
Batteries and PSH are the most common technologies that are used for energy storage in off-grid systems and microgrids. Considering the current storage technologies, the storage capacity in water and hydropower reservoirs is by far the largest ( Figure 1 b) [ 7 ].
Recently, other cleaner forms of power generation have become available, with renewable energy systems isolated from the grid, becoming more and more popular. These systems are often named “off-grid” which may provide a cost-effective solution to provide energy services to hundreds of millions of people until 2030.
