The Tirana Power Storage Project: Powering Albania''s Energy
A 2023 Wood Mackenzie study shows projects like Tirana''s can reduce grid congestion costs by up to 60%. Now that''s a stat worth stealing for your next dinner party.
Distributed energy storage is also a means of providing grid or network services which can provide an additional economic benefit from the storage device. Electrical energy storage is shown to be a complementary technology to CHP systems and may also be considered in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, thermal energy storage.
Distributed energy storage is widely recognized as a key enabler of smart grids for its role in complementing renewable generation by smoothing out power fluctuations [56,57]. For instance, surplus energy can be stored during conditions of low demand and supplied back during periods of heavy load.
RES can be successful in suppressing the ripple effects of RES, especially in the case of distributed PV and wind systems connected to distribution grids. Distributed energy storage method plays a major role in preventing power fluctuation and power quality problems caused by these systems in the grid.
In such cases, a distributed energy storage (DES) can play an essential role in improving stability, strengthening reliability, and ensuring security. This monograph is dedicated to fundamentals and applications of energy storage in renewable microgrids.
