Importance of Energy Storage Systems in Future Energy Infrastructure and Critical Application Areas

Abstract

Energy infrastructure will be transformed into a whole new order. The main reason for this new order is that climate change has reached a very dangerous level. This danger has made renewable energy a necessity, not a choice. In this arrangement, the existing control and protection structure will not be sufficient. Energy storage systems will play a critical role in sustaining this new structure and providing a secure and economical energy. In recent years, reductions in the costs of energy storage systems have made it possible to use this technology. However, in a power system where wind and solar energy are integrated, energy storage will not be an option but will be a technical necessity. This requirement will manifest itself in every field. Energy storage systems have different uses in energy transmission systems, energy distribution systems and industry.

It is essential to focus on the maximum benefit that energy storage systems can produce in related areas. This benefit can be demonstrated with the help of power system analysis and field measurements. The results of the analysis clearly show that Energy Storage systems will play a very critical role in the transition to 100% Renewable Energy.
