Review on the Distributed Energy Storage Technology in the Application of the Micro Network

Abstract

This paper summarized the application process of energy storage technology in the micro-grid, elaborated on the development of energy storage technology concisely, and illustrated the roles of battery energy storage, flywheel energy storage, superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), super capacitor energy storage and other energy storage and so on in micro-hybrid. Then it compared the performances of some sorts of the storage method. As characteristics and actual demands of micro-grid work were given full into consideration, the current micro-grid energy storage technology research problems and development trend in the future were pointed out.
