Energy storage helps facilitate the use of renewable energy resources to power microgrids, while also protecting power stability and reliability within the microgrid. Energy storage technology has advanced significantly in recent years, and the latest technology holds many promising benefits for microgrid applications.
Ultra-capacitor, fuel cell, battery, flywheel, and SMES are the energy storage technologies, which have been particularly used in wind energy for power smoothing applications. Therefore, these energy storage technologies can be helpful in smoothing electric power for shipboard microgrids as well. Figure 16.
