Electrical Energy Storage Technologies and the Application Potential in Power System Operation: A Mini Review

Abstract

Penetration of renewable resources increases the global demand for high-efficient Energy Storage Technology (EST) that deals with reduction in the emission of green-house gases causing environmental hazards/pollutions, thereby ensures cleaner environment and more reliable energy storing systems. This article provides a mini review on various types of Electrical Energy Storage Technologies (EEST), which reduces electricity cost with improved power quality, energy storage density, efficiency and reliability. In addition, it compares the types of EEST, their limitation, technical features etc. This review mainly focuses on Lithium-ion battery storage technology with the development in their electrodes and their characteristics feature meeting with the ever-growing demand for energy and their applications.
