Abstract

Energy transition is taking place around the world due to the strong penetration of renewable energy sources in modern power systems. However, the most important disadvantage of these power sources is their instability. As a result, power systems are facing major challenges in transmission and distribution with unpredictable daily and seasonal fluctuations to meet the demands of human activities. Energy storage is being considered as one of the potential solutions to address these challenges, whereby energy is stored and converted to electrical energy when needed. There are many types of energy storage technology with different applications in modern energy systems. This paper provides an up-to-date review of these storage technologies and energy storage systems in Vietnam's power system today. Finally, there are a few perspectives on the opportunities and challenges of these storage systems in Vietnam power systems today.
