Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) have become a critical issue in energy generation from Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Rotondo et al. [1] report on energy storage as one of the key points to
SESUS presents a novel framework for combining GM with local energy storage devices to improve urban power management's resilience, dependability, and flexibility. Unlike traditional storage systems, SESUS uses swarm intelligence to dynamically regulate power distribution to optimize load balancing and energy consumption in real time.
Other researchers addressed the optimal sizing and location of photovoltaic generation systems (PVGS) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) to enhance power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, and voltage unbalance in an unbalanced distribution system.
The storage systems are characterized by their nominal power, expressed as a percentage of renewable capacity, and their supply duration in hours, which represents the reservoir capacity for pumped hydro or compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems.
SESUS especially when organized in a swarm system, can provide near-instantaneous support for frequency regulations, ensuring the grid operates within its optimal frequency range making an overall higher efficacy. These findings highlight the superior performance of SESUS in energy storage and grid upgrading for urban power grid applications.
