Chapter 9: Energy storage in smart grids
Abstract
Conventional power plants generate electricity using fossil fuels (oil, coal, and gas). These power plants are far away from the load area, and transmission and distribution systems are required to manage the load from the conventional power plant. In conventional power plants, most of the issues with grid ancillary services are solved by the large generators themselves. With the advancements and innovations in renewable energy sources and their harnessing techniques, distributed generation has become a novel concept, and the energy storage system (ESS) is an essential component of the hybrid energy system and the smart grid. The ESS helps in mitigating the intermittency of renewable energy ...
