“…Very rapid, large fluctuations in power flow caused by variations in wind and solar generation can severely affect the control of voltage and frequency on the grid [15][16] and introduce issues with system stability, reliability and power quality [17][18][19]. There are different approaches to mitigate intermittency of generation such as increasing or decreasing flexible generation, demand-side management, network solutions such as reinforcements and investment in interconnection, transmission and/or distribution networks [20], or through the use of energy storage system (ESS), which can absorb or release energy to buffer the mismatch between generation and load over periods of minutes to hours [21].…”

Ampere-hour (Ah) efficiency: The quantity of electricity measured in Ampere-hours which may be delivered by a cell or battery under specified conditions. Ampere-hour capacity: The total number of Ampere-hours or watt-hours that can be withdrawn from a fully charged cell, indicated by Ah or mAh. Battery: Two or more electrochemical cells connected together electrically in series, parallel, or both, to provide the required operating voltage and current levels. Crate: Charge or discharge current, in Ampere, expressed in multiples of the rated capacity. For example, C/10 charge current for a cell rated at 20 Ah is: 20 Ah/10 = 2 A. Capacity: See Ampere-hour capacity. Cell: The smallest electrochemical unit of a battery used to generate or store electrical energy. Coulombic efficiency: See Ampere-hour efficiency. Cutoff voltage: The cell voltage at which the discharge process is terminated (it is generally a function of discharge rate). Cycle life: The number of times a cell can be discharged and recharged until the cell capacity drops to a specified minimum value usually 80 % of rated capacity. Depth of discharge: The quantity of electricity (Ampere-hours) removed from a fully charged cell, expressed as a percentage of its rated Ampere-hour capacity. Energy density: The ratio of the energy available from a cell to its volume (Wh/L) or mass (Wh/kg). xxi Internal resistance: Expressed in ohms, the total DC resistance to the flow of current through internal components (grids, active materials, separators, electrolyte, straps, and terminal) of a cell. Module: The smallest modular unit, consisting of a number of individual cells connected together electrically in series, parallel, or both. Nominal voltage: The average voltage of the cell. The operating voltage of the system may go above or below this value. Open circuit voltage (OCV): The difference in potential between the terminals of a cell when no load is applied. Pack: Two or more modules connected in series, parallel or both. Power density: The ratio of the available power from a cell to its volume (W / L). Round-trip efficiency: The ratio of energy put in (in MWh) to energy retrieved from storage (in MWh). Self-discharge: The loss of useful capacity of a cell on storage due to internal chemical action (local action) and parasitic currents. State-of-charge (SoC): The present cell capacity in relation to maximum capacity. Terminal voltage: The difference in potential between the terminals of a cell when a load is applied.

Representatives from more than 190 countries participated in this conference. Although no important breakthrough was achieved, this conference attracted strong attention from the worldwide public and media, because it indicated the political willingness of the international community to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in order to protect the environment.There are national and international programmes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector. In 2011, the European Commission issued the Energy Roadmap 2050 with the target to reduce carbon dioxide emissions down by 20% by 2050. Four different measures are considered to achieve this goal: energy efficiency, renewable energy, nuclear energy and carbon capture and storage (CCS). Rapid development of renewable energy is thus ongoing worldwide, especially since the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan. For example, in Germany, 80% of electricity will be produced by renewable energy by 2050.This issue contains five contributions with an emphasis on renewable energy. Two of them are devoted to wind energy, two papers to solar energy and one contribution to the 'lifecycle' approach for analysing greenhouse gas emissions.The first two papers are briefing articles, devoted to electrical energy storage options worldwide and the growth of wind power in Sweden, respectively. The briefing paper by Price (2014) provides an overview of battery energy storage technologies and their development. Various kinds of battery storage techniques are mentioned, such as the lead acid battery, lithium ion battery and high-temperature battery. The technical and economic challenges as well as some ongoing research projects are summarised.The wind energy programme in Sweden is summarised in the briefing paper by Kenrick (2014). Some of the driving factors for the development of wind energy are presented and discussed, such as electricity prices, electricity production prices using wind energy and job opportunities. In addition, the future wind energy programme of the IKEA group is presented.The envisaged levels of greenhouse gas emission reduction in some national and international programmes are, however, restricted only to one part of the entire life cycle, mostly direct energy production. The paper by Hammond and O'Grady (2014) describes the methodology to analyse greenhouse gas emissions on a life-cycle basis. The authors have performed extensive investigation and published their results in several previous publications. This paper gives an excellent summary of their research results. With the life-cycle approach, the greenhouse gas emissions both during the energy production phase and in the upstream procedures are considered. The authors confirm the importance of the life-cycle approach with two examples: methane leakage during the coal mining process and that from the gas pipeline. By considering the upstream procedures, greenhouse gas emission could be increased by about 20%. In addition, the authors analyse various scenarios in the UK and point out that the UK electr...

Renewable energy resource like solar and wind have huge potential to reduce the dependence on fossil fuel, but due to their intermittent nature of output according to variation of season, reliability of grid affected therefore energy storage system become an important part of the of renewable electricity generation system. Pumped hydro energy storage, compressed air energy storage, flywheels, capacitors, and super conducting magnetic storage technologies have been developed, but many of these are limited in their capacity, characteristics and site dependence. Currently battery energy storage system is not much adopted within grid, but with development their density, versatility and efficiency it is observed that BESS- (battery Energy Storage system) will be adopted in large quantity.
