September 18, 2020 by Pietro Tumino. This article will describe the main applications of energy storage systems and the benefits of each application. The continuous growth of renewable energy sources (RES) had drastically changed the paradigm of large, centralized electric energy generators and distributed loads along the entire electrical system.

The electrical energy storage technologies are grouped into six categories in the light of the forms of the stored energy: potential mechanical, chemical, thermal, kinetic mechanical, electrochemical, and electric-magnetic field storage. The technologies can be also classified into two families: power storage and energy storage.

In the "14th Five-Year Plan" for the development of new energy storage released on March 21, 2022, it was proposed that by 2025, new energy storage should enter the stage of large-scale development, and by 2030, new energy storage should achieve comprehensive market-oriented development.

The use of an energy storage technology system (ESS) is widely considered a viable solution.
