For smaller grids and off-grid, the added value of energy storage goes further than just grid balance: power quality issues and power reliability are also addressed [17, 22]. Power quality is the ability of the supplied electricity on the distribution grid to adhere to the specified peak levels and standard voltage levels. Any change in the
