Review of Smart and Innovative Energy Storage Systems

Abstract

With the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources in power system has led to changes in its operation. The renewable energy sources with their intermittency poses may challenges for smooth integration. In this regard, the energy storage systems are viewed as potential solution for providing the smooth power system operation with integration of renewables. However, there are different types of energy storage systems with different operational capabilities, costs and limitations. This paper presents review of state-of-the-art smart and innovative electrical energy storage systems. Further, the impact of these storage systems on power systems is reported. This research would be helpful in choosing the energy storage system for deployment in particular application.
