Distributed energy resource (DER) systems are small-scale power generation or storage technologies (typically in the range of 1 kW to 10,000 kW) [25] used to provide an alternative to or an enhancement of the traditional electric power system. . Distributed generation, also distributed energy, on-site generation (OSG), [1] or district/decentralized energy, is electrical generation and storage performed by a variety of small, grid -connected or distribution system-connected devices referred to as distributed energy resources (DER). DERs can be technologies that generate and store power but can also be technologies or operator functions that manage how much and what kind. . Electrical Energy Storage (EES) systems store electricity and convert it back to electrical energy when needed. 1 Batteries are one of the most common forms of electrical energy storage. The first battery, Volta's cell, was developed in 1800. When energy. . This shift is driven by the increasing deployment of intermittent renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, which require intelligent management of their variable output. Storing electricity is now a requirement for modernizing the grid, providing a mechanism to instantaneously. .
