Summary

This paper examines the integration of energy storage systems (ESS) into the Brazilian electricity sector under increasing penetration of variable renewable energy sources.

International benchmarks from the United Kingdom and Australia are used to compare regulatory and market design approaches that enable ESS deployment. Brazilian case studies illustrate current practices, regulatory constraints, and scalability challenges. The analysis highlights the role of ESS in enhancing system flexibility, reliability, and market efficiency within the National Interconnected System.
