Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) are organic compounds that can absorb and release hydrogen through chemical reactions. LOHCs can therefore be used as storage media for hydrogen. In principle, every unsaturated compound (organic molecules with C-C double or triple bonds) can take up hydrogen. To absorb hydrogen, the dehydrated form of LOHC (an unsaturated, mostly aromatic compound) reacts with the hydrogen in a reaction.

Applications of Energy Storage Systems in Enhancing Energy Management and Access in Microgrids: A Review1. Introduction At present, microgrids (MGs) and nanogrids (NGs) are becoming increasingly important in current power systems, due to several aspects, such as resilience, renewable energy integration, energy efficiency, cost savings, and energy access [1, 2].
The energy storage system enhances the ability of the microgrid to balance the power supply-demand relationship between distributed generation and load, effectively reducing adverse impact of wind generation, PV generation, and other intermittent power supplies, while scaling up grid connection capacity of renewable energy.

Their feasibility for microgrids is investigated in terms of cost, technical benefits, cycle life, ease of deployment, energy and power density, cycle life, and operational constraints.
While a microgrid is in the on-grid mode, itcan receive energy from the main grid, and the energy storage system should make the longest cycle life as its optimal goal, and choose the appropriate type of energy storage system according to the maximum power and fluctuation of PV/wind power.
Microgrids are a means of deploying a decentralized and decarbonized grid. One of their key features is the extensive presence of renewable-based generation, which is intermittent by nature. Because of this kind of variability, the application of appropriate energy storage systems is mandatory.
