In order to cope with both high and low load situations, as well as the increasing amount of renewable energy being fed into the grid, the storage of electricity is of great importance. However, the large-scale storage of electricity in the grid is still a major challenge and subject to research and development.
Another significant advantage of energy storage in grid stability is its ability to improve resilience and reliability. By providing backup power during outages or grid disturbances, energy storage systems can enhance the grid’s ability to withstand and recover from adverse events, such as natural disasters or equipment failures.
Focusing on EST possible application in micro-grid operations and found that several energy storage methods have distinctive challenges . examined the possibility of energy storage to reduce the inconsistent nature of renewable power sources. The utilization of various energy storage methods in wind power systems was examined in Ref. .
Grid energy storage is a collection of methods used to store energy on a large scale within an electricity grid.
