Abstract

The ever evolving idea of smart grid substantially relies on the usage of renewable energies. The latter, however, have to cope with a variety of problems. E.g., the production of renewable energies like photovoltaic and wind energy depends on the weather, leading to a time varying energy output. Additionally, it is a complex task to save surplus energy. If the geographical position allows the installation of a power station using a reservoir or similar, the problem can be solved easily. However, in most cases this is not possible. Concepts have to be developed fulfilling this task.
