I think now the world come up with a new kind of energy storage that is power-to-methane. You will find some useful information on it in the following link. The link also give an analysis on projects involved large scale energy storage.

This report (specifically on hydro projects) from the Electric Power Research Institute might be useful? (Quantifying the value of hydropower in the electric grid: Plant cost elements, link below). 

While there is a lot of conventional hydro, it still useful for costing / sizing of pumped hydro (and does include some pumped hydro projects I think). The National Renewable Energy Lag in the US is also worth having a look at for large scale storage information.

Dear Behnam,

We have worked on storage for marine renewable energy systems. I am attaching a paper (review) that could be of help.

Regards,

Mohamed

Here is also other papers that might help.

This report (Results from Case Studies of Pumped-Storage Plants), also from EPRI may also be useful

There is currently no large scale energy storage technologies deployed in Alberta, Canada. However, the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) just released a paper that provides an excellent summary of what it's recommending for energy storage in the province. I hope it's useful to you.

Thanks Ngoc Huynh Tran,

I am interested to read more about power to methane storage. Based on the link that you have provided, the efficiency of this storage is low  (6MW input while the output is 3MW). Is it right?

Thanks Mohamed Benbouzid,

I found some real application of large scale energy storage technologies in the shared paper.

Dear Joanne G. Phillips,

Thanks for sharing the paper. It seems that there is an interest in CAES storage in Alberta. Two following documents are in this line.

Dear Dylan James Mcconnell,

Thanks for your answer. It seems that the link is corrupted and could not be opened.

Thanks Michael Conteh for sharing the papers. They are interesting. The first one contains large number of real applications. Thanks again.

Look at this piece of news about a energy storage system for the utility grid based on Li-Ion batteries... The project is being developed by REE (Red Elèctrica Española).

Maybe you can find extra information about that online.

Hi! There is a hybrid wind power plant with large-scale energy storage using NaS batteries in Japan, the Rokkasho-Futamata wind farm. I hope the attached link helps:

Hello, you can have a look at the DOE energy storage database here:

http://www.energystorageexchange.org/projects

You can filter the results according to the technology you are interested in.

Thanks a lot Aikaterini Chatzivasileiadi. The webpage is very informative and what I looked for.

Dear Behnam.

EDF (Electricité de France) installed a NaS battery in Réunion island (a French overseas region). The battery has a considerable size of 1MW-7MWh.

In these links you can find some technical information about this battery:

Hi  Behnam,

There are currently two CAES facilities in operation today. The first one is the Huntorf plant in Germany that was built in the 1970s and the second one is the Macintosh plant in Alabama, US that came online in 1991. Both of them are Diabatic CAES system and need a Gas turbine for their generation stage. There have been many announcements in the past few years about new projects that are fuel-free such as Adiabatic CAES or Isothermal CAES, but none has been commissioned yet.
