Ankush Gupta, Sathans Suhag
Abstract
Energy storage systems (ESSs) have acquired enhanced importance with the extensive growth and development of renewable energy systems (RESs) to accomplish the increasing demand of power without causing adverse effects on environment. The ESSs help to eliminate the effects of intermittent nature of RESs by either injecting power into the RESs or extracting power from RESs depending on whether the RESs is in shortage or excess of power, respectively. In the present study, an elaborate review is presented, which gives the recent perspective of the ESSs technologies, their comparative analysis, and various specifications as well as evaluation through S-Strength, W-Window of opportunity, I-Intimidation, F-Failing, and T-Technical maturity analysis. Divergent ESSs, capable of power regulation, power quality maintenance, and enhancement of the grid reliability, have had huge significance in sustainable development of RESs, which is highlighted in this Review. In addition, this Review also brings out the recent research trends on ESSs, which include novel and significant innovations, achievements, and developments around ESSs.
