Abstract

Renewable energy sources are currently becoming the most promising sources for electricity generation as the focus on mitigating climate change is gaining momentum across the globe. Control measure in the usage of fossil fuel-based power generation and utilizations are proving to be very costly to people’s health and the environment. As pressure mount on the issues of addressing climate change, the scales of renewable energy penetration is becoming more significant. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind show promising potential but these sources are weather and season dependent. This dependence require the use of effective energy storage systems. Reliable energy storage systems have thus become a core considerations when there is a need for reliable, high quality power supply. The development and advancement of energy storage systems is essential when working with both stand-alone and grid-connected renewable power system. Advancements in science and technology have produced many energy storage systems options, each with their own merits and drawbacks. However continued research and development into energy storage systems is crucial if the realization of renewable power for meeting energy demand is to be successful.

Keywords: battery energy storage, climate change, energy storage system, renewable energy
