Abstract: As the renewable and clean electricity generation, wind and solar installation is experiencing fast growing. It brings some key issues as well, curtailment and grid integration. After more than 10 years R&D and demonstration, energy storage technologies are considered key elements to solve these problems. This paper focuses on energy storage’s application status and developing trend on grid peak shaving and frequency regulation. There are huge potential value for energy storage to participate in grid peak shaving and frequency regulation, once the market mechanisim is build and supporting policies are released.

Key words: renewable integration, energy storage, grid peak shaving and frenquenceyre regulation, price mechanisim, policy and subsidy
