Suitability analysis of Fuzzy Logic as an evaluation method for the selection of energy storage technologies in Smart Grid applications

Energy storage systems are a key element in the development of the smart grid. The complexity of the power grid necessitates energy storages to provide various services with each having distinct requirements. Each energy storage technology comes with its own unique characteristics, which makes it difficult to select suitable energy storages for specified applications. This paper reviews the suitability of using Fuzzy Logic as a selection method. The main objective of this study is to compare the results of the multi-criteria analysis with the present experience and literature of energy storage applications.
