Growing levels of wind and solar power increase the need for flexibility and grid services across different time scales in the power system. There are many sources of flexibility and grid services: energy storage is a particularly versatile one.. Often used to generate electricity for remote communities or offset a portion of energy costs for grid-connected customers, distributed wind systems can be part of an isolated grid or a grid-connected microgrid in combination with other energy devices. They can also be connected to local power. . Energy storage is an enabling technology, which – when paired with energy generated using renewable resources – can save consumers money, improve reliability and resilience, integrate generation sources, and help reduce environmental impacts. Various types of energy storage technologies exist.
