In the attempt to tackle the issue of climate change, governments across the world have agreed to set global carbon reduction targets
In the pursuit of the carbon reduction, there has been a continuous shift towards the de-carbonisation of major infrastructures such as transport and energy, and an uptake of renewable power generation
Energies 2017, 10, 1010 in this special issue cover the full range of aspects for the energy storage applications: from energy storage technology modelling for more predictable performance in real-life applications to micro and macro control strategies for energy storage in power systems of a range of sizes
Summary
In the attempt to tackle the issue of climate change, governments across the world have agreed to set global carbon reduction targets. Since the proportion of inverter-fed generation is likely to increase, the natural inertia of the system would reduce. This in turn causes the grid’s frequency to become less stable and deviate from its target more rapidly than in the present day. Electrification of major infrastructures will cause an additional demand for electricity, which could potentially coincide with existing demand peaks Furthering this peak demand imposes additional strain on the distribution network, which pushes both its thermal limits and its voltage constraints. Energy storage is often viewed as a silver bullet to buffer the differences between the demand and supply The collection of manuscripts in this editorial provides an insight into some of the cutting edge research on the control of energy storage for power systems
