It can improve power system stability, shorten energy generation environmental influence, enhance system efficiency, and also raise renewable energy source penetrations.
The most traditional of all energy storage devices for power systems is electro chemical energy storage (EES), which can be classified into three categories: primary batteries, secondary batteries and fuel cells. The common feature of these devices is primarily that stored chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.
An energy storage unit can be connected to the transmission, subtransmission or distribution system in a manner similar to customer-owned conventional or renewable generation facilities such as gas or wind turbines. These dispersed sources are able to change the character of a typical electricity power system completely.
With the advancement of new energy storage technol-ogies, e.g. chemical batteries and flywheels, in recent years, they have been applied in power systems and their total installed capacity is increasing very fast.
