Centralized energy storage enables centralized energy dispatch and optimization, effectively balancing supply and demand within the grid, enhancing grid stability and power quality. These storage devices are usually large-scale, capable of storing much more energy than distributed energy storage systems. Balancing supply and demand, 2. Among these, the most significant aspect is balancing supply and. . The application of energy storage adds a link to store electrical energy to the traditional power system, transforming the power system from a “rigid” system to a “flexible” system, greatly improving the safety, flexibility, and reliability of the power system [1–3]. Especially, facing the inherent. . These systems typically range from 1 megawatt (MW) to over 500 MW, with capacity tailored to grid demands, renewable energy integration, or industrial needs.
