A Technical Overview of Different Energy Storage Technologies with Renewable Source

Abstract

Abstract: Successful operation of electrical grid requires that generation will follow the demand. But it is not feasible when renewable energy sources are connected to the grid. Consequently it creates a lot of problem like voltage fluctuation and grid congestion. These problems can be solved by using energy storage technologies. The main characteristics, merits and demerits of energy storage technologies are introduced. Finally, a qualitative comparison between different energy storage is also made.
