As demonstrated in the following chapters, the number of independent energy storing elements in a system is equal to the order of the system and to the number of state variables in the system model. These components enhance energy reliability, 2. They enhance grid reliability and resilience by providing backup power. An energy storage system (ESS) for electricity generation uses electricity (or some other energy source, such as solar-thermal energy) to charge an energy storage system or device, which is discharged to supply (generate) electricity when needed at desired levels and quality. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery.
