Except for the storage of excess energy produced in renewable energy systems; its use in areas such as grid integration, frequency, voltage management, and power stability is also becoming widespread. There is a fact accepted by everyone that energy storage technologies will be mentioned frequently in the upcoming years and will continue to develop rapidly.
- Energy storage systems are active actors in the integration of renewable energy sources and play an important role in maintaining an electrical system robustly and reliably. They reduce greenhouse gas emissions by regulating grid stability and frequency response time, improving power fluctuations, and increasing the efficiency of Renewable Energy Systems. Many different storage systems are used in energy production. These are electrochemical (batteries), mechanical (pump hydrolyzed, compressed, flywheel), and thermal or hydrogen storage. Energy storage is considered an important element in energy systems today.
- The biggest handicap encountered in renewable energy sources is that they cannot have a continuous energy flow. Thanks to the storage concept this handicap can be avoided so It is possible to increase the annual energy production by storing the energy in the case of continuous renewable resources and transferring it to the grid when these resources are not available.
