Abstract
The amount of electrical energy storage (EES) deployed within electricity systems worldwide has increased rapidly over the last 5 years, often as part of trials/demonstration projects. This has been driven by an increasing need for flexible resources in energy systems, for example, to complement renewable generation or to improve security of supply. These needs are likely to continue in the future and will stimulate increasing numbers of commercial installations of all forms of EES. EES offers a wide range of benefits to the electricity system, which have been proven by various deployments. However, challenges remain to be addressed, including those in relation to core storage technologies, the market and regulatory frameworks. This article briefly describes the storage landscape, before summarising the benefits offered by EES through a number of case studies. It then explores the remaining challenges and how these are being/could be addressed.
