Energy storage systems and electric vehicles are essential in stabilizing microgrids, particularly those with a high reliance on intermittent renewable energy sources. Storage systems, such as batteries, are essential for smoothing out the fluctuations that arise from renewable energy generation.
Development directions in mobile energy storage technologies are envisioned. Carbon neutrality calls for renewable energies, and the efficient use of renewable energies requires energy storage mediums that enable the storage of excess energy and reuse after spatiotemporal reallocation.
The integration of energy storage systems (ESS) and electric vehicles (EVs) into microgrids has become critical to mitigate these issues, facilitating more efficient energy flows, reducing operational costs, and enhancing grid resilience.
3.3.2. Role of Storage Systems and EVs in Stabilizing Microgrids Energy storage systems and electric vehicles are essential in stabilizing microgrids, particularly those with a high reliance on intermittent renewable energy sources.
Electric vehicles, by their nature, are mobile and flexible loads that can be dynamically controlled to respond to grid demands. This flexibility makes EVs ideal candidates for contributing to microgrid stability, particularly when integrated with energy storage systems .
One key aspect of integrating renewables into microgrids is the role of energy storage systems, which are essential for balancing the variability of renewable energy. These storage systems can absorb excess energy during periods of high production, such as when solar panels generate surplus electricity on sunny days.
