For the normal operation of the grid, the energy storage system acts as a buffer. If no storage system is present, there must be a balance between demand and supply. Energy storage systems must be developed that carry very little conversion losses . 2016, Electric Renewable Energy Systems Bora Novakovic, Adel Nasiri
The size, cost, and scalability of an energy storage system highly depend on the form of the stored energy. Energy can be stored as potential, kinetic, chemical, electromagnetic, thermal, etc. Some energy storage forms are better suited for small-scale systems and some are used only for large-scale storage systems.
Several important parameters describe the behaviors of battery energy storage systems. Capacity [Ah]: The amount of electric charge the system can deliver to the connected load while maintaining acceptable voltage.
Energy storage system (ESS) refers to the device of converting electrical energy from power systems into a form that can be stored for converting back to electrical energy when needed [7, 8].
