Distributed energy storage is also a means of providing grid or network services which can provide an additional economic benefit from the storage device. Electrical energy storage is shown to be a complementary technology to CHP systems and may also be considered in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, thermal energy storage.
Energy storage is provided in the range where the electricity tariff is inexpensive. In the range where electricity is expensive, it can offer consumers stored energy. In addition, this system can meet the requirements of grid power quality, stability, and reliability. This system can play an important role in RES integration.
The energy storage system is connected to the secondary of a distribution transformer. It was used as a backup power supply and grid support for commercial/residential buildings. Thus, a significant benefit was provided to the distribution line with grid support.
RES can be successful in suppressing the ripple effects of RES, especially in the case of distributed PV and wind systems connected to distribution grids. Distributed energy storage method plays a major role in preventing power fluctuation and power quality problems caused by these systems in the grid.
This trend is rapidly gaining momentum as DG technologies improve, and utilities envision that a salient feature of smart grids could be the massive deployment of decentralized power storage and generation systems, also called distributed energy resources or DERs.
Tomislav Capuder, in Energy Reports, 2022 Distributed ESSs are connected to the distribution level and can provide flexibility to the system by, for example smoothing the renewable generation output, supplying power during high demand periods, and storing power during low demand periods (Chouhan and Ferdowsi, 2009).
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide.
