Application and efficiency of energy storage systems in distribution networks

Abstract

In power systems, energy storage systems are of great importance in preventing the supplydemand imbalances of electrical energy and daily fluctuations in the load curve. The amount of energy produced by renewable energy sources is constantly changing due to their significant dependence on environmental conditions. Today, ali modern energy systems require energy storage for many reasons such as supply reliability, system stability, more effıcient use of energy resources, minimizing transmission / distribution network problems and costs. This study examines the most up-to-date storage techniques used in power systems and makes an assessment of their effıciency. Thus, it is aimed to provide a more accurate power balance in load planning and help to realize an effective unit commitment in energy.
