Publisher's Synopsis
Energy storage is a main component of any holistic consideration of smart grids, particularly when incorporating power derived from variable, distributed and renewable energy resources. The fully revised Energy Storage for Smart Grids 2ed delves into detailed coverage of the entire spectrum of available and emerging storage technologies, and supports the transition from pilot projects to the mainstream applications for utilities.
Featuring the latest research findings from the world's foremost energy storage experts, complete with data analysis, field tests, and simulation results, this book helps device manufacturers develop robust business cases for the inclusion of storage in grid applications. With new chapters addressing the barriers to the participation of electric storage this reference helps support greater efficiency in electric wholesale markets, and will help support the resilience of the bulk power system.It also provides the comparisons and explanations grid planners and operators need to make informed decisions about which storage solutions will be most successful when implemented in operational grids.
