Due to increased share of fluctuating renewable energy sources in future decarbonized, electricity-driven energy systems, participating in the electricity markets yields the potential for industry to reduce its energy costs and emissions. A key enabling technology is thermal energy storage combined with power-to-heat technologies, allowing the industries to shift their energy demands to periods with low electricity prices. This paper presents an optimization-based method which helps to select and dimension the cost-optimal thermal energy storage technology for a given industrial steam process. The storage technologies considered in this work are latent heat thermal energy storage, Ruths steam storage, molten salt storage and sensible concrete storage. Due to their individual advantages and disadvantages, the applicability of these storage technologies strongly depends on the process requirements. The proposed method is based on mathematical programming and simplified transient simulations and is demonstrated using different scenarios for energy prices, i.e., various types of renewable energy generation, and varying heat demand, e.g., due to batch operation or non-continuous production.

With the reserves of coal and other fossil energy decreasing, renewable energy sources (RES) will become the main power source of future power system. In order to ensure stable supply of RES generation and to improve efficiency of system, energy storage technology will play a more and more important role in power system. In this paper, we discussed the importance and characteristics of various energy storage technologies with battery and super capacitor energy storage technology as examples. Then we elaborated the principles and important effects of energy storage technologies in RES generation. Finally, using PSCAD to build the simulation model of grid connected RES generation and storage technology to obtain the effect of energy storage technologies. Results show that the energy storage devices can effectively alleviate the fluctuation of RES.

This paper is focused on new seasonal energy storage technology. World demands for energy are increasing at present, but the resources of fuel are limited. There is a prediction, that they will become rare and more expensive in subsequent years. The technology, which can contribute to increasing the efficiency of energy consumption, is thermal energy storage. The role of such energy storage systems is to accumulate heat, balancing temperature differences and achievement the most effective use of the collected energy. Thermal energy storage plays an important role in increasing the using of renewable energy.

U.S. electrical utilities have started a major renovation of the electrical grid infrastructure tointegrate IT technology to the existing grid, creating a Smart Grid. Until this recent conversion, theelectric grid has remained relatively unchanged for over 100 years.As the Smart Grid is installed,there will be benets such as higher reliability, increased system eciency and the integration of newgreener technology. Energy storage technology could have the opportunity to provide relief on thegrid, especially during peaks of demand. However, the smart grid is not without its opponents due toconcerns of public health, cost and privacy.The purpose of this paper is to explore the conversion ofthe existing grid infrastructure to a Smart Grid and how it will aect electricity consumers, utilitiesand the integration of energy storage technology on the grid.
