While mentions of large tied-grid energy storage technologies will be made, this chapter focuses on off-grid storage systems in the perspective of rural and island electrification, which means in the context of providing energy services in remote areas. The electrical load of power systems varies significantly with both location and time.
If nonelectrical energy storage systems—such as water tank for a pumping system or flywheels or hydrogen storage in specific locations and contexts—are sometimes a relevant solution, electrochemical storage technologies are the most common for off-grid installations [35 ].
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 sources that comprise the microgrid include technologies such as diesel generators, fuel cells, PV panels, and wind turbines associated with storage resources. Energy storage technologies play a key role in the operation of the system.
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 .
Electrochemical energy storage is indeed the most common storage option in off-grid projects, although a few hybrid storage systems have emerged during the past few years. Key parameters used to compare the types of batteries on the market are described below ( [2, 25, 26 ]):
