Fig. 1. Energy storage tied to the power grid can serve a variety of functions, from smoothing of momentary changes in load or renewable generation, to day-long shaving of the peak demand (Reproduced from Hearne 2014) Full size image. Another key role of energy storage is in support of energy efficiency initiatives.
Solid-state transformer (SST) and hybrid transformer (HT) are promising alternatives to the line-frequency transformer (LFT) in smart grids. The SST features medium-frequency isolation, full controllability for voltage regulation, reactive power compensation, and the capability of battery energy storage system (BESS) integration …

3. obtain the in-depth knowledge of energy storage systems and their applications in smart grids. Introduction of "Smart Grid" and "Energy Internet" This course will introduce the evolutionary history of the power systems, and the basic concepts and technical features of the smart grid and energy internet.
Firstly, we will define SGs in more detail and demonstrate their importance in smart cities, which will be followed by stating the roles of micro/nano grids, solar energy, wind energy, energy storage and smart water grids by smart cities. Lastly, a review of the major European smart city projects will be carried out.
A smart grid is a digitally enabled electrical grid that gathers, distributes, and acts on information about the behavior of all participants (suppliers and consumers) to improve the efficiency, importance, reliability, economics, and sustainability of electricity services ( U.S. DOE, 2012 ).
The focus areas of this review study are distributed generation, microgrids, smart meters'' deployment, energy storage technologies, and the role of smart loads in primary frequency response provision. The future power system must provide electricity that is reliable and affordable. To meet this goal, both the electricity grid and the existing …

small-scale energy storage devices: P < 5 MW. Small-scale ESSs are routinely installed in customers'' premises, known as behind-the-meter (BTM) ESSs, typically up to 5 kW/13.5 kWh for residential customers and up to 5 MW/10 MWh for commercial and industrial units [ 11, 12 ].
This means that by using IoT, the energy meters can deliver data on their important measurement parameters to remote locations. Moreover, IoT allows the smart power grid to increase its resources and services. This will create, in a near future, a new way of differentiating power grid services.
