“…As an indispensable part of the smart grid, energy storage system plays a key role to deal with the intermittency of the renewable energy sources by absorbing superfluous energy during off-peak time and releasing stored energy during the peak time [1][2][3][4][5]. ere are many types of energy storage systems, such as flywheel energy storage system [6], supercapacitor energy storage system [7], battery energy storage system [8], and hybrid energy storage system [9], just to name a few. Each type of energy storage system has its own cons and pros from the perspective of power density, energy density, lift-time, maintenance, environmental impact, power quality, etc.…”

In this paper, we consider the distributed power tracking and energy balancing problem of a general energy storage system subject to unreliable switching communication network. In order to deal with the uncertainty of the network topology, a distributed observer-based approach has been proposed. First, an adaptive distributed observer is employed to recover the reference power for the entire energy storage system for each energy storage unit. Second, based on the estimated reference power, a certainty equivalent control law is synthesized to simultaneously achieve power tracking and energy balancing. Numerical simulations are provided to validate the proposed control approach.

“…8 for a schematic), the study by Rupp et al shows that by using FESS with a certain energy and power capacity, energy consumption savings of up to 31% and cost savings of 11% can be achieved [36]. At the same time, FESS can solve the problem of voltage transients in railroad distribution and transmission without increasing the line capacity [35]. FESS is also widely used in hybrid vehicles.…”

Physical energy storage is a technology that uses physical methods to achieve energy storage with high research value. This paper focuses on three types of physical energy storage systems: pumped hydro energy storage (PHES), compressed air energy storage (CAES), and flywheel energy storage system (FESS), and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each technology by collecting and evaluating the principles, components and technical parameters. In addition, this paper presents the practical applications of the technologies and finally provides an outlook on future developments. The results show that PHES technology is the most mature and has the advantages of high efficiency and long lifetime, but the current application is rather single and can be developed in the direction of variable speed/underground/seawater pumped storage in the future; CAES has larger energy capacity and longer service life, outstanding peak regulation capability, and can manage energy as well as provide power for vehicles, but its efficiency and energy density are low and need further optimization in the future; FESS has the advantages of short response time and power density, and minimal environmental effects, but currently it is mostly used for small-scale occasions and military purposes due to its small capacity, and its self-discharge rate is large, and it is being developed in the direction of increasing capacity and improving safety in the future. This paper aims to provide a systematic summary of the progress of physical energy storage technology, so as to provide information to support further research on physical energy storage.

In this review article, a considerable discussion and details on peak shaving strategies involving incorporation of the electric vehicles to the grid, integration of energy storage system, demand‐side management, and renewable energy sources have been presented. Three types of peak shaving using energy storage systems, such as the battery energy storage system, supercapacitor energy storage system, and flywheel energy storage system, have been explained with the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches. In one of these studies, the integration of a renewable photovoltaic source with battery energy storage in peak shaving has successfully produced an annual savings of $155 675.00. The introduction to the cost–benefit and sustainable second‐life batteries energy storage and their relationship with electric vehicles is also described. Another study involving electric vehicles BYD e6, which have the cheapest energy storage cost of 0.1208 $ kWh−1 and participated the most in peak shaving, obtains the most significant individual net income compared to other vehicles. Different demand‐side management practices and their advantages are thoroughly discussed. Finally, this article also includes the challenges, importance, perspectives, future work suggestions, and improvements on peak shaving performance, such as implying the smart grid energy storage technology to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 7.
