Low-CO2-emission wind generation can alleviate the world energy crisis, but intermittent wind generation influences the reliability of power systems. Energy storage might smooth the wind power fluctuations and effectively improve system reliability. The contribution of energy storage to system reliability cannot be comprehensively assessed by the installed capacity of energy storage. The primar...

This paper reviews the most important energy storage systems for applications in residential environments. Normally, these systems are associated with renewable energy in order to achieve specific characteristics, although new possibilities and challenges are implemented over them in any residential places. Nowadays, the development of such kind of energy systems represents a technical challeng...
