Topic: Energy Storage for Power Systems
Abstract:
Utility
scale
battery
storage
will
soon
reach
a
level
of
maturity
where
the
modular
design
of
the
technology
and
aggregation
will
allow
custom
built
solutions
for
energy
and
ancillary
service
needs
of
the
power
system.
Several
projects
are
in
the
demonstration
phase
worldwide
and
hold
promise
for
successful
incorporation
of
battery
storage
into
traditional
power
systems
operations.
The
talk
describes
various
technologies
being
developed,
tested
and
installed
today.
Further,
a
grid
scale
application
is
described
in
detail.
