As more wind and solar resources are added, storage will become more important for an efficient, reliable, and clean grid. Importantly, energy storage can help shift clean energy generation to when it is needed most. For example, peak power usage in most of the U.S. occurs on summer afternoons and evenings, just as solar generation is declining
The energy storage system is a very central component of the electric vehicle. The storage system needs to be cost-competitive, light, efficient, safe, and reliable, and to occupy little space and last for a long time.

Electrical vehicles require energy and power for achieving large autonomy and fast reaction. Currently, there are several types of electric cars in the market using different types of technologies such as Lithium-ion [1], NaS [2] and NiMH (particularly in hybrid vehicles such as Toyota Prius [3]).
In electric and hybrid vehicles, the electric motor can also act as a generator during regenerative braking, converting the vehicle''s kinetic energy into AC power. This is then converted back to DC power by the traction inverter, allowing the battery to be charged. It is worth noting that in electronics, a device that changes AC power to DC power is commonly referred to as a rectifier.
