A Synopsis for Utilization of Energy Storage Systems in Distributed Power Generation

- Emerging electricity market requires that electric power is delivered in reliable and secured manner to customers. This desire strongly improved the objective for integrating energy storage systems (ESS) into isolated distributed energy system for electrification of off-grid localities. Intermittencies associated with renewable power output present some challenging techno-economic problems. Conditional changes in energy consumption from time to time is one of the key factors that determine energy management scenario in power systems. In consequence, this paper presents a review of the synopsis of utilization of ESS for distributed power generation. It presents review concepts on the benefits and constraints of battery energy storage system (BESS), pumped hydro energy storage (PHES), compressed air energy storage system (CAESS), flywheel energy storage system (FESS) and fuel cell (FC) used for varieties of applications in distributed renewable energy generation. The framework of the study is concluded with the summary of the comparative analysis of the ESS in terms of energy storage capabilities.
