Abstract:
Grid reliability is one of the greatest challenges facing electric utilities. We argue that energy storage will play a significant role in meeting the challenges facing electric utilities by improving the grid’s operating capabilities, lowering cost, ensuring high reliability, and deferring and reducing infrastructure in-vestments. Several studies discuss the benefits of energy storage. This paper offers a taxonomy for smart-grid benefits from energy storage based on previous literature to illustrate four core classes of benefits for the grid. This work provides a solid foundation to equip researchers with the most pertinent information to advance future research in this domain.
