Distributed energy resources and
loads that can be operated in a
controlled, coordinated way
either connected to the main
power grid or in “islanded”*
mode.
Microgrids are low or medium
voltage grids without power
transmission capabilities and are
typically not geographically
spread out.

Grid edge = traditional boundary between utility and end user assets.
Software and data critical to getting the most value out of DER
Statcom or static synchronous condenser : Usually a STATCOM is installed to support electricity networks that have a poor power factor and often poor voltage regulation.
For example, if the terminal voltage of the VSC is higher than the AC voltage at the point of connection, the STATCOM generates reactive current; conversely, when the amplitude of the voltage source is lower than the AC voltage, it absorbs reactive power.
Smoothing: reduce overgangsverschijnselen.
DER: Distributed energy recources?
ROI: return on investment
Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS)

Add: warmte network (distric heating and cooling and thermal storage)
ABB has energy storage systems to fit every grid application, whether individually, across multiple
applications, or as one of many assets managed as an integral part of the grid.
The basic role of energy storage is the same across all applications: to absorb energy generated at one time and
to discharge it to supply power at a later time. However, the choice of storage media for each application is strongly influenced by the required power rating and the duration for which it may need to continuously charge or discharge.
And we have over a decade of expertise in implementing battery energy storage systems.
That breadth and depth of experience enables ABB to offer the ideal efficient and reliable energy storage solution for a wide variety of applications – ABB offers a range of energy storage technologies, covering every power requirement from tens of kilowatts up to hundreds of megawatts.
Frequency regulation
The energy storage system is charged or discharged in response to an increase or decrease, respectively, of grid
frequency. This approach to frequency regulation is a particularly attractive option due to its rapid response time
and emission-free operation.
Load levelling
Load leveling usually involves storing power during periods of light loading on the system and delivering it during periods
of high demand. During these periods of high demand the energy storage system supplies power, reducing the load on
less economical peak-generating facilities. This allows for the postponement of investments in grid upgrades or in new
generating capacity.
Peak shaving
Peak shaving is similar to load leveling, but may be for the purpose of reducing peak demand rather than for economy
of operation. The goal is to avoid the installation of capacity to supply the peaks of a highly variable load. Peak shaving
installations are often owned by the electricity consumer, rather than by the utility.
Voltage support
An energy storage system can help to maintain the grid voltage by injecting or absorbing both active and
reactive power.
Capacity firming
The variable, intermittent power output from a renewable power plant, such as wind or solar, can be maintained at
a committed (firm) level for a period of time. The energy storage system smoothes the output and controls the ramp
rate (MW/min) to eliminate rapid voltage and power swings on the electrical grid.
