The challenges of large-scale energy storage application in power systems are presented from the aspect of technical and economic considerations. Meanwhile the development prospect of global energy storage market is forecasted, and application prospect of energy storage is analyzed.
The lack of direct support for energy storage from governments, the non-announcement of confirmed needs for storage through official government sources, and the existence of incomplete and unclear processes in licensing also hurt attracting investors in the field of storage (Ugarte et al.).
The sizing and placement of energy storage systems (ESS) are critical factors in improving grid stability and power system performance. Numerous scholarly articles highlight the importance of the ideal ESS placement and sizing for various power grid applications, such as microgrids, distribution networks, generating, and transmission [167, 168].
Despite widely known hazards and safety design of grid-scale battery energy storage systems, there is a lack of established risk management schemes and models as compared to the chemical, aviation, nuclear and the petroleum industry.
Governments and private energy institutions globally have been working on energy storage technologies for a long time [10, 11]. The U.S. has positioned large-scale energy storage technology as an important supporting technology to revitalize the economy, realize the New Deal for energy, and ensure national energy and resource security.
The development and expansion of energy storage technology not only depend on the improvement in storage characteristics, operational control and management strategy, but also requires the cost reduction and the supports from long-term, positive stable market and policy to guide and support the healthy development of energy storage industry.
