In the case of applying distributed storage to a distributed generation installation, the impacts of distributed generation on the grid may be less; however, there is also lost revenue for the utility, offset by the ability to utilize the asset.
Distributed energy storage is widely recognized as a key enabler of smart grids for its role in complementing renewable generation by smoothing out power fluctuations [56,57]. For instance, surplus energy can be stored during conditions of low demand and supplied back during periods of heavy load.
The energy storage system is connected to the secondary of a distribution transformer. It was used as a backup power supply and grid support for commercial/residential buildings. Thus, a significant benefit was provided to the distribution line with grid support.
