Abstract :
This document discusses opportunities for electrical energy storage in the field of distributed generation, specifically related to microturbines and residential fuel cell generators. Electricity storage can also mitigate some of the problems associated with large-scale deployment of renewables, such as wind-powered generation. A brief discussion of newer battery technologies for these applications is also included
