Abstract: The use of energy storage(ES) technology in power system is increasingly recognized. A comprehensive investigation and analysis of the use of ES in power system will help to understand the current status of the ES development and the constrain factors for its development, and analyze its future market prospect and development trend. The paper described the power system characteristics of several countries or regions, such as the SGCC of China, the PJM of USA, the RTE of France, and the National Grid of Britain. The ES demand of various countries was analyzed in terms of power load, power structure and renewable energy planning. The technical development and cost features of ES were summarized and the future trends about ES research and development were also proposed.

Key words: Energy storage technology, power system, status quo, prospect
