Citation Excerpt : CES is a shared pool of grid-scale energy storage resources that provides energy storage services for consumers. It allows consumers to use "virtual storage" instead of installing their own batteries [15,26]. It was verified in the literature [15,26] that CES are beneficial due to the economies of scale (the larger ...
To further put the importance of battery storage in perspective, Europe needs a total of 187 GW of energy storage by 2030, 122 GW of which will be battery storage—that is about 65.24%. This capacity, for instance, can go a long way towards managing unforeseen crises—such as the Russo-Ukraine war and heat waves —that are likely to cripple grid …
