Abstract

Grid level energy storage systems are a cornerstone of future power networks and smart grid development. Better energy storage systems are one of the last hurdles hindering the integration of renewable generation. There are currently many methods of implementing energy storage, ranging from pumped hydro storage to sodium-sulfur battery storage. All energy storage technologies share a common disadvantage which is high initial installation costs. This survey was undertaken with the intent of identifying the technological state of battery energy storage for power systems, as well as providing a background on the modeling and simulation of those battery technologies.
