Energy storage for smart grids : planning and operation for renewable and variable energy resources (VERs) / edited by Pengwei Du, Ning Lu ; contributors, Hossein Akhavan-Hejazi [and twenty-six others].

Energy storage is a main component of any holistic consideration of smart grids, particularly when incorporating power derived from variable, distributed and renewable energy resources. Energy Storage for Smart Grids delves into detailed coverage of the entire spectrum of available and emerging stor...
