There is a growing need to increase the capacity for storing the energy generated from the burgeoning wind and solar industries for periods when there is less wind and sun. This is driving unprecedented growth in the energy storage sector and many countries have ambitions to participate in the global storage supply chains.
Storage plays a crucial role in energy systems by providing both upward and downward flexibility. It can store energy either when there is generation surplus or lower demand and discharge in the opposite case. Depending on the time scale (miliseconds up to months), there are different roles that storage can play in energy systems.
The energy storage system could play a storage function for the excess energy generated during the conversion process and provide stable electric energy for the power system to meet the operational needs of the power system and promote the development of energy storage technology innovation.
Several investigations have considered the technical and economic aspects of storage, but there is a lack of information on their environmental impact. The review indicates the absence of knowledge space identification in the area of energy storage, which requires updating and accumulating data.
It can reverse the DC power of the battery into AC power and transmit it to the grid or to the AC load; it can also rectify the AC power of the grid into DC power and charge the battery . An energy storage converter mainly has two working modes: grid connected and off-grid.
