Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy storage systems in electrical grids are key technologies for achieving a sustainable energy supply. Recently, a variety of different storage technologies are being researched and developed to meet grid requirements, e.g., integration of renewable generators, integration of electromobility, load shifting, and ancillary services. Grid applications differ in terms of their requirements, e.g., for dynamics, frequency, and predictability. For these applications, an energy storage system must be optimally sized and operated to reach high lifetimes. Thus, not every energy storage system is suitable for all grid applications.

This Special Issue on “Application of Energy Storage Systems in Smart Grids” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest novel advances in energy storage system applications, while electrochemical, chemical, mechanical, electrical, and thermal energy storage for smart grid is also of interest. Topics include but are not limited to:

  • Energy storage systems for highly dynamic applications;
  • Optimal sizing and operation of storage systems for applications;
  • Multi-use application of energy storage system;
  • Second-use concepts;
  • Hybrid energy storage systems;
  • Engineering, control, and optimization of energy storage systems;
  • Placement of energy storage systems in the power system;
  • Economic, policy, and market introduction concepts of energy storage systems.

The power sector may reduce carbon emissions and reach carbon neutrality by accelerating the energy transition and lowering its reliance on fossil fuels. However, there are limitations on the new power system’s ability to operate safely and steadily due to the randomness, volatility, and intermittent nature of renewable energy supply. The key to solving this issue is to harness the flexible resources that energy storage systems (ESSs) represent; however, ESSs have more than a value for providing system flexibility. Thus, this study suggested a flexible, technical, economic, and environmental value index system based on multi-criteria decision-making models for evaluating the multi-dimensional value of ESSs. First, the objective and subjective weights are obtained using the CRITIC model and best–worst method; then, the weights are combined using the minimum relative entropy model. The complete values of five typical ESSs are then evaluated using the TOPSIS model. Three scenarios that reflect the traits of the new power system are then created and analyzed. The outcome demonstrates the following: (1) as the new power system continues to grow, the value of ESSs’ flexibility has become ever more crucial; (2) as the need for system flexibility increases, the value of electrochemical ESSs gradually manifests.
