Abstract:This study aspires to assess state of the art storage technologies for fi ve different scenarios including an offshore wind farm, an onshore wind farm, an islanded grid, a microgrid in Egypt and a solar power system. The assessment has been based on two main evaluation tools: The Technology Readiness Level and Applicability Indicators. Based on the evaluated results, it was concluded that mechanical storage technologies are suitable for large scale systems due to their relative high capital cost and power rang… Show more
