Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the role of energy storage systems (ESS) in modern electrical power systems. The increasing integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power has introduced challenges related to grid stability and variability management. Energy storage technologies, including batteries, flywheels, and pumped hydro, offer promising solutions to address these challenges by providing grid support services, enabling renewable energy integration, and supporting peak demand management. This paper discusses the principles, characteristics, and applications of various energy storage technologies and examines their effectiveness in enhancing grid stability and facilitating renewable energy integration. Furthermore, it explores the economic and environmental benefits of deploying energy storage systems in power grids.
Keywords: Energy Storage Systems, Grid Stability, Renewable Energy Integration, Peak Demand Management, Battery Technologies, Flywheel Technologies, Pumped Hydro Storage.
