The energy sto rage requirements have traditionally been met by the physical storage of f uels for fossil fuelled power plants and by the use of generated power in pumped hydro storage schemes.\nThe electric power landscape has recently m oved towards greater use of renewable energy in the form of solar and wind . While this type of power generation is more sustainable\, delivering rel iable power on demand becomes extremely challenging. The power output of w ind and solar power installations is intermittent and highly variable. Whe n the wind blows or the sun shines\, excess power can be stored and made a vailable during peak load conditions. The intermittency and variability ha s led to greater demand for energy storage facilities to support the grid. \nSuch fundamental changes in the architecture and controllability of the grid requires efficient and smart power transmission and distribution netw orks. Electricity storage systems can be employed to manage the amount of power required to supply customers at times when need is greatest\, that i s during peak load conditions. These devices can also make renewable energ y\, whose power output cannot be controlled by grid operators\, smooth and dispatchable. Energy storage systems are also needed to balance microgrid s to achieve a good match between generation and load. Storage devices can provide frequency regulation to maintain the balance between the load on network and power generated. Thus\, energy storage holds substantial promi se for transforming the electric power industry.\nWhile it is not possible to store energy in the form of electricity\, it is possible to convert el ectrical energy to another form that can be stored. The stored energy then can be converted back to electricity when it is needed. Energy storage sy stems can be deployed to any of the five major subsystems in the electric power system i.e. generation\, transmission\, substations\, distribution\, and end consumers. There are a wide variety of possible forms in which th e energy can be stored. Most common examples include chemical energy (batt eries)\, kinetic energy (flywheels or compressed air)\, gravitational pote ntial energy (pumped hydroelectric)\, and energy in the form of electrical (capacitors) and magnetic fields (SMES). From the standpoint of the elect rical system\, these energy storage systems act as loads while energy is b eing stored (e.g. while charging a battery) and sources of electricity whe n the energy is returned to the system (e.g. while discharging a battery). These solutions are designed to enhance flexibility\, increase energy sec urities and minimize environment impacts.\nThis talk would focus on benefi ts\, applications and technologies of utility scale energy storage systems .\n\nCo-sponsored by: Yogesh Singh Chauhan\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. K.
