Abstract

Due to the vast deployment from distributed to large-scale renewable generation, electrical power systems are being equipped more and more with tools improving the controllability of power flows and state monitoring and prospective. In this regard, future power networks are evolving into smart grids. One of the tools for the modernization and decarbonization of power networks is the field of Energy Storage Systems (ESSs). This paper proposes a classification for the many services the ESSs can provide in power systems dominated by renewable-based generation. Three categories of services are defined in terms of the power and energy ratings of the ESS and the main type of beneficiary in each case. For each service, the most suitable type of ESS is identified, exemplary projects are noted and key regulatory issues are highlighted.
