If the growth needed in the installed capacity of wind and solar is huge, when compared to the starting point , the major hurdle is however the energy storage [22, 23].Wind and solar energy are produced when there is a resource, and not when it is demanded by the power grid, and it is strongly affected by the season, especially for what concerns solar.
The operation of electrical systems is becoming more difficult due to the intermittent and seasonal characteristics of wind and solar energy. Such operational challenges can be minimized by the incorporation of energy storage systems, which play an important role in improving the stability and reliability of the grid.
