PRAIA SMART ENERGY STORAGE POWER STATION
The 100-MW CSP project, featuring 12 hours of molten salt energy storage, uses the tower molten salt energy storage CSP technology independently developed by Cosin Solar Technology Co.,
Super-capacitor energy storage, battery energy storage, and flywheel energy storage have the advantages of strong climbing ability, flexible power output, fast response speed, and strong plasticity . More development is needed for electromechanical storage coming from batteries and flywheels .
ESS can help in voltage regulation, power quality improvement, and power variation regulation with ancillary services . The use of energy storage sources is of great importance. Firstly, it reduces electricity use, as energy is stored during off-peak times and used during on-peak times.
2.1.1. Capacitors (Cs) Two metal plates called electrodes separated by dielectric layer form the electric capacitor. One plate is charged while the other plate is induced by an opposite sign charge . The energy is stored on the surface of the metal electrodes. This type storeenergy for extremely short periods .
Besides, CAES is appropriate for larger scale of energy storage applications than FES. The CAES and PHES are suitable for centered energy storage due to their high energy storage capacity. The battery and hydrogen energy storage systems are perfect for distributed energy storage.
