The power grid side connects the source and load ends to play the role of power transmission and distribution; The energy storage side obtains benefits by providing services such as peak cutting and valley filling, frequency, and amplitude modulation, etc.
Each energy storage system differs from the others based on various factors, such as discharge time, discharge loss, energy density, wattage rating, and life cycle . Pumped hydro storage, compressed air storage, and battery energy storage are the current energy storage technologies with higher technical maturity and more applications.
Energy storage technologies can effectively facilitate peak shaving and valley filling in the power grid, enhance its capacity for accommodating new energy generation, thereby ensuring its safe and stable operation 3, 4.
All storage technologies can reinforce the quality, stability and reliability of the grid electricity systems. However, the proper storage method should be selected based on several parameters, such as the capital and operational cost, the power density, the energy density, the lifetime and cycle life and the efficiency.
In this case, the energy storage side connects the source and load ends, which needs to fully meet the demand for output storage on the power side and provide enough electricity to the load side, so a large enough energy storage capacity configuration is a must.
