Keywords: energy storage; grid connection; renewable energy sources; transmission network 1 INTRODUCTION Social and political goals concerning environmental protection and stopping the negative trends of CO2 emissions have resulted with massive renewable energy sources constructions and installations in recent years.
There are several ways to increase grid flexibility and improve the integration of renewable resources: Energy storage can be paired with variable renewables to accommodate fluctuations in renewable generation over the course of the day or several days. Electricity can be stored during times of high generation (for solar, during sunny
The Biden administration has a goal of a carbon-free electric grid by 2035, which will require a large deployment of new renewable energy generation and storage capacity. 31 states and Washington, DC have currently also adopted renewable portfolio standard (RPS) policies, which set binding targets that require that a portion of electricity
As a result, the type of service required in terms of energy density (very short, short, medium, and long-term storage capacity) and power density (small, medium, and large-scale) determine the energy storage needs [53]. In addition, these devices have different characteristics regarding response time, discharge duration, discharge depth,

1.2. Solutions and literature review. The increasing number of decentralised PV-battery storage systems (BSSs) and controllable sector-coupled consumer units is not only creating challenges but can also contribute to reducing grid issues [15].Specifically, decentralised BSSs can decouple consumption and generation,
File photo: A concrete pole carrying feeder lines outside a substation. PJM Interconnection, the nation''s largest electrical power grid operator, is struggling to connect new electricity projects to its system, threatening power reliability and clean-energy goals, according to a study. Interconnection issues have long been recognized as a
Renewable energy-to-grid integration is the study of how modern grid technologies can support the smooth transition to adopting energy resources that are more distributed, resilient, secure, and clean. Renewable energy-to-grid integration is about building microgrids with solar, wind, and storage systems in remote areas or for islanding off the
Wind energy generation systems are being connected in increasing numbers to power systems worldwide. With the development of wind energy and power electric control technology, more wind farms are

3. Re-calculating the actual impact of storage on the grid. Current grid connection regulations treat storage as a generation asset. Essentially, the assumption is that storage assets are always exporting at maximum power. In reality, this is not how storage assets behave. They also import energy from the grid and rarely export at full
