Abstract
Energy is an indispensable element for human survival. Most of the energy sources that we are currently using are nonrenewable forms of energy. These sources are limited and are exhausting at a fast rate. For non-renewable sources we have oil, coal, petroleum to list some. In this scenario of scarcity of energy, renewable form of energy provides a better and more secure option. We need to use the renewable sources to their full extent in order to reduce the burden on the non-renewable sources of energy. But these sources do have some limitations. Solar energy is not available at night, wind energy depends on the intensity of the wind speed and hydro power plant’s installation takes a toll on the environment as it damages the environment and its nearby habitat adversely. We have the technologies for the generation and implementation of these renewable sources of energy but we lack in the storage sector. The energy systems in India have an outdated storage method. We need some reliabl...

A Detailed Study of Energy Storage Systems
India is one of the five fast developing countries. India has made rapid strides towards economic self-reliance over the last few years. On the energy demand and supply side, India is facing severe shortages. To overcome energy crisis, India has developed many projects related to different energy sources. But driven by global concerns about the climate and the environment, the world is opting for renewable energy sources (RESs). However, RESs suffer from the discredit of intermittency, for which energy storage systems (ESSs) are gaining popularity worldwide. The idea of utilizing and storing excess renewable energy is not new, and numerous researches have been conducted to adorn this idea with innovations and improvements. This study is a humble attempt to assemble all the available knowledge on RESs & ESSs. This paper covers all core concepts of ESSs, including its evolution, elaborate classification, their comparison, the current scenario, applications, environmental impacts and future prospects keeping in mind the ever-growing needs, economic feasibility, fungibility and budget constraints. This elaborate discussion on energy & its storage systems will act as a reliable reference and a framework for future development of India in this field.

Relevance of Energy Storage Technology in the Development of Solar Power
Journal of Energy Technologies and Policy, 2019
There is a growing concern in the operating of solar power as a stand-alone and its connection to the grid. This is because; its power quality and sustainability are being affected by intermittency and variability. As the time of the day and the solar intensity changes, the quality of power generation is affected. This has made the use of energy storage inevitable for a quality power generation. This paper considers some existing technologies of energy storage that is applicable in mitigating the challenge facing the deployment of solar power systems. The variability and effectiveness of these storage techniques were considered in terms of technology, efficiency, environmental impact, and response. In conclusion, it was resolved that a self-sufficient solar power system requires appropriate storage techniques to complement its operation. Therefore, understanding the different options of storage is required for a careful selection of the technology which can support the required level of efficiency and effectiveness in electrical energy generation.
Renewable energy: deployment and the roles of energy storage
2016
Hydro energy still remains the highest RE contributor to electricity generation globally, nevertheless, trends in solar and wind energy has shown increasing investment in RE. Though a decline in investment was observed between 2012 and 2013, yet investment in RE exceeded that of non-RE in the excess of $80 billion dollar. In 2014, investment increased by 16%. As developed countries get saturated with RE technologies, developing countries are now the focus for investment. Wistfully, path dependency problem, lack of adequate infrastructure and policy framework have been highlighted as the major barrier to RE deployment in developing countries. Also, lack of harmonised government agency for RE implementation, incentives and educational gap are the institutional and social barriers. Energy Storage (ES) is being promoted as the "game changer" with capability of smoothening the variability associated with two RE technologies, wind and solar, with the highest deployment rate. Recent developments are indicative of cost reduction for ES. This paper therefore presents a concise and holistic review of renewable energy (RE) technologies for electricity generation and assess the roles of ES in mitigating intermittency associated with their generation profile.

Optimisation of energy storage for an electricity system in the Indian scenario
International Journal of Renewable Energy Technology, 2017
The purpose of any electrical network is to provide electrical power reliably wherever it is needed, avoiding any loss of load. To do this effectively, electricity networks usually consist of various different types of plants, giving a generation portfolio. Energy storage plays a very vital role in renewable energy generation and allows for supply and demand. The action of the energy storage should allow for a reduction of the overall system fuel cost while still meeting the load demand. The fuel cost supply curve is plotted to estimate energy storage in order to minimise the overall system fuel cost. We have used the historical data for the electricity demand from the website of Central Electricity Authority of India. The energy storage is optimised to minimise the overall fuel cost for the system in order to maximise profit.

Review of energy storage and transportation of energy
Energy Storage, 2019
Energy storage and transportation are essential keys to make sure the continuity of energy to the customer. Electric power generation is changing dramatically across the world due to the environmental effects of Greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by fossil fuels. The unpredictable daily and seasonal variations in demand for electrical energy can be tackled by introducing the energy storage systems (ESSs) and hence mitigating the extra GHG emission in the atmosphere. Energy storage techniques can be mechanical, electro-chemical, chemical, or thermal, and so on. The most popular form of energy storage is hydraulic power plants by using pumped storage and in the form of stored fuel for thermal power plants. The classification of ESSs, their current status, flaws and present trends, are presented in this article. The present state of fossil fuel reserves, their production, consumption, and as a consequence of these the CO 2 emissions are also discussed. The primary energy carriers coal, oil and gas are not evenly distributed along the globe. Long distances are involved in transporting these energy carriers and transportation and delivery of these key resources to the prime customers is always necessary. The different methods to transport the energy from the source end to demand end is also discussed in this article. The assessment of various energy storage methods on the basis of several factors and present status and development of storage and transportation of energy in Pakistan is discussed.
Energy storage systems—Characteristics and comparisons
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2008
Electricity generated from renewable sources, which has shown remarkable growth worldwide, can rarely provide immediate response to demand as these sources do not deliver a regular supply easily adjustable to consumption needs. Thus, the growth of this decentralized production means greater network load stability problems and requires energy storage, generally using lead batteries, as a potential solution. However, lead batteries cannot withstand high cycling rates, nor can they store large amounts of energy in a small volume. That is why other types of storage technologies are being developed and implemented. This has led to the emergence of storage as a crucial element in the management of energy from renewable sources, allowing energy to be released into the grid during peak hours when it is more valuable.
