Centrally managed storage facilities in island power systems dominate the relevant literature. Table 4 includes the papers dealing with the centrally managed storage concept. Table S2 of the Supplementary data and Fig. 7 present additional details for the most representative ones.
Electricity storage is crucial for power systems to achieve higher levels of renewable energy penetration. This is especially significant for non-interconnected island (NII) systems, which are electrically isolated and vulnerable to the fluctuations of intermittent renewable generation.
Undoubtedly, energy storage stations (ESS) are vital for the electricity sector of NII to move to penetrations of renewables over 50 %. As can be inferred from Table 1, pumped hydro storage (PHS) and battery energy storage (BES) technologies dominate the landscape of actual grid-scale applications for island systems.
Storage services and architectures in islands are identified. Two storage designs emerge as of particular interest. Storage operating principles, remuneration schemes, and investments feasibility are discussed. Electricity storage is crucial for power systems to achieve higher levels of renewable energy penetration.
Ιn , batteries and pumped-hydro storage have been identified as the leading storage technologies for islands, with the former effectively applicable to small and medium size system and the latter to large systems with natural reservoirs.
Significant research has also been conducted on the dynamic behavior of island systems in the presence of storage and the feasibility of storage investments. On the other hand, the contribution of storage to resource adequacy in islands has received limited investigation, presenting opportunities for further research in this area.
