Energy storage systems (ESSs) are essential components of the future smart grids with high penetration of renewable energy sources. However, deploying individual ESSs for all energy consumers, especially in large systems, may not be practically feasible mainly due to high upfront cost of purchasing many ESSs and space limitation. As a result, the concept of shared ESS enabling all users charge/...

Utilization of energy storage system (ESS) in microgrids has turned to be necessary in recent years and now with the improvement of storage technologies, system operators are looking for an exact modeling and calculation for optimal sizing of ESS. In the proposed paper, optimal size of ESS is determined in a microgrid considering demand response program (DRP) and reliability criterion. Both lar...

Microgrids are one of the most useful and efficient ways to integrate the renewable energy technologies in order to improve security, quality, reliability and availability of electricity supply. In order to achieve these benefits when a microgrid with a substantial amount of stochastic generation operates in grid connected mode but also during islanding mode, the use of storage systems is essen...

In view of the current and predictable energy shortage and environmental concerns, the exploitation of renewable energy sources offers great potential to meet increasing energy demands and to decrease dependence on fossil fuels. However, introducing these sources will be more attractive provided they operate in conjunction with energy storage systems (ESS). Furthermore, effective energy storage...

Energy storage systems (ESS) have recently become an indispensable solution to many operational issues related to the integration of distributed generation (DG) technologies in electricity grids. Most of the applications are in the form of power quality mitigation and management of the energies between DG and electricity grids. This paper presents a review of the present status of worldwide app...

Changes in the electricity business environment, dictated mostly by the increasing integration of renewable energy sources characterised by variable and uncertain generation, create new challenges especially in the liberalised market environment. The role of energy storage systems (ESS) is recognised as a mean to provide additional system security, reliability and flexibility to respond to chan...

Despite the increasing interest in Energy Storage Systems (ESS), quantification of their technical and economical benefits remains a challenge. To assess the use of ESS, a simulation approach for ESS optimal sizing is presented. The algorithm is based on an adapted Unit Commitment, including ESS operational constraints, and the use of high performance computing (HPC). Multiple short-term simula...

With the increasing popularity of renewable energy, energy storage systems (ESSs) have now been used as an essential way to reduce bills and mitigate impact uncertainty generators on network. However, high investment cost ESS limits its application. This article proposes concept shared (Shared-ESS) for microgrid owner/operator applies it economic optimal dispatch a cluster. In addition storage,...

Energy Storage Systems (ESS) have an impressive track record for providing stability and efficient power management in power system. With recent technological advancements and the decline in costs, the use of battery for ESS is gradually becoming popular in the power industry. In particular, Lithium-ion Battery (LiB) is being used in various power grids around the world. In Jocheon, Jeju Island...
