Get StartedDistributed energy systems offer better efficiency, flexibility, and economy as compared to centralized generation systems. Given its advantages, the decentralization of the energy sector through distributed energy systems is regarded as one of the key dimensions of the 21st-century energy transition .
This is where energy storage systems (ESSs) come to the rescue, and they not only can compensate the stochastic nature and sudden deficiencies of RERs but can also enhance the grid stability, reliability, and efficiency by providing services in power quality, bridging power, and energy management.
For instance, considering high efficiency and energy density, battery energy storage systems are highly favorable in reducing the impact of renewable-based DESs. Batteries facilitate unparallel solutions towards the challenges associated with long-term planning in power system operation.
Diversification, identification, and selection based on the targeted challenge of DES considering the complete technical capabilities of energy storage technologies is pertinent. The high cost of energy storage systems is among the key economic driving factor that limits their integrative efficacy .
These systems, however, are typically intermittent and need energy storage to offer reliable solutions. Non-renewable-based DES technologies are also available in a wide range and may include: internal combustion (IC) engine, combined heat & power (CHP), gas turbines, micro-turbines, Stirling engine, and fuel cells.
The concept of energy storage system is simply to establish an energy buffer that acts as a storage medium between the generation and load.
