Artificial Intelligence Applications in Distributed Energy Storage Technologies

Distributed energy storage (DES) is a key component in smart distribution networks and microgrids. As one of the current disruptive technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to change the traditional modeling, analysis, and control methods of DES and make DES more intelligent. The development of the AI application in the field of power systems and the applicability of the modern AI methods in DES were briefly reviewed. Then, the AI application directions and the related research trends in three DES of different scales, micro-grid, smart building, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G), were considered. Finally, the future development of AI in DES was presented, in order to provide useful reference for intelligent research and development of distributed energy storage.
