The use of ESS is crucial for improving system stability, boosting penetration of renewable energy, and conserving energy. Electricity storage systems (ESSs) come in a variety of forms, such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, and electrochemical ones.
An energy storage system can provide relevant support to the electrical system for the integration of renewable energy sources. This application is quite common and it is one of the main applications already operated by traditional pumped-storage hydroelectric plants.
The ESS could be also used in case of a general blackout for the re-starting of the entire electrical system. As mentioned above, there are many applications for energy storage systems and several benefits for the electrical system where an energy storage system is present.
This paper presents a comprehensive review of the most popular energy storage systems including electrical energy storage systems, electrochemical energy storage systems, mechanical energy storage systems, thermal energy storage systems, and chemical energy storage systems.
Energy storage is utilized for several applications like power peak shaving, renewable energy, improved building energy systems, and enhanced transportation. ESS can be classified based on its application . 6.1. General applications
