The growing academic interest in energy storage technologies is accompanied by the world-widely ongoing utilization of RE in remote areas.
Smoothing PV output. 1. Introduction. Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) like solar, wind, hydro etc., contribute for today׳s electricity generation. By the end of 2014, RES contributed 22.8% of global electricity production in the world. The PV installed capacity rose by 27% from 139 GW in 2013 to 177 GW in 2014.
It is assumed that a maximum of 400KJ of energy is to be delivered in one lap at a maximum power of 60KW. Design parameters are the weight of the battery, ultracapacitor and motor-generator. If these parameters are all set to the very small value of 0.01kg, the lap time is 95.0 seconds, this corresponding to a car with no KERS.

An energy storage system (ESS) for electricity generation uses electricity (or some other energy source, such as solar-thermal energy) to charge an energy storage system or device, which is discharged to supply (generate) electricity when needed at desired levels and quality. ESSs provide a variety of services to support electric power grids.
