“…Supercapacitors are working in a similar way as conventional capacitors, but they are characterized by a much higher capacitance (kilo farads) in smaller packages [18]. It must be remembered that the capacitance is proportional to the area of the plates and the permittivity of the dielectric, and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates.…”

“…Integration variable and fluctuating renewable sources to power gird increase the difficulty of stabilizing the power network and balancing the supply and demand. Energy storage system (ESS) is assumed to be a good solution to smooth the power fluctuations, improve the system reliability and provide auxiliary services to the grid such as frequency regulation, energy shifting and load leveling [7,18]. In this work, an overview on state of art of the most important energy storage technologies is carried out.…”

Increasing concerns about the depletion of fossil resources and the issue of environment lead to a global need for producing more clean energy from renewable sources. Ocean is appreciated as a vast source of renewable energies. Considering marine renewable energies, it can be noticed that significant electrical power can be extracted from marine tidal currents. However, the power harnessed from marine tidal currents is highly fluctuant due to the swell effect and the periodicity of the tidal phenomenon. To improve the power quality and make the marine generation system more reliable, energy storage systems can play a crucial role. In this paper, an overview and the state of art of energy storage technologies are presented. Characteristics of various energy storage technologies are analyzed and compared for this particular application. The comparison shows that high-energy batteries like sodium-sulphur battery and flow battery are favorable for smoothing the long-period power fluctuation due to the tide phenomenon while supercapacitor and flywheel are more suitable for eliminating short-period power disturbances due to swell or turbulence phenomena.This means that hybrid storage technologies are needed for achieving optimal results in tidal marine current energy applications.

“…This phenomenon deteriorates the quality of power injected into the grid from the MCT generation system. Energy storage system (ESS) is assumed to be a good solution to smooth power fluctuations, improve the system reliability and provide auxiliary services to the grid [3][4]. In this paper, one 1.5 MW grid-connected MCT generation system is studied.…”

“…The simplest solution will be for the generation companies or utilities to use some storage; but storage would be expensive. Even though the cost of storage is expected to come down [3,4] in the next decade or so, it would still be high and add significantly to the total costs for the utilities. One would need an alternative strategy.…”
