A high-efficiency grid-tie battery energy storage system

Electrical energy storage for the grid: a battery of choices.

The increasing interest in energy storage for the grid can be attributed to multiple factors, including the capital costs of managing peak demands, the investments needed for grid reliability, and the integration of renewable energy sources. Although existing energy storage is dominated by pumped hydroelectric, there is the recognition that battery systems can offer a number of high-value oppor...

Multi Attribute Investment Planning of a Grid-Connected Diesel/Wind/PV/Battery Hybrid Energy System

Recently, along with the depletion of fossil fuels and growing electrical requirements, more attention has been paid on utilizing Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). The Chichest tourism complex is located 20 km far from Orumieh, Iran which has been supplied through the main distribution grid connection. But, recently the trend is to expand the share of RESs in supplying microgrids demand. Hence, ...

Dynamic Modelling of a Compressed Air Energy Storage System in a Grid Connected Photovoltaic Plant

The use of photovoltaic (PV) cells in domestic and industrial applications has grown rapidly through the recent years. Constructing PV plants is a very smart measure to produce free electricity in large scales, especially in the countries with higher solar irradiation potential. On the other hand, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has already been proposed to be employed for energy storage a...

Power Quality Improvement of Grid Connected Wind Energy Systems Using Statcom-battery Energy Storage System

For the past few year renewable energy resources, without challenging environmental concerns has lead to significant increase in global power generation. Out of that wind energy is considered to be the most mature renewable energy source. However, the exploitation of wind energy is particularly challenging due to the stochastic nature of wind. This weak interconnection of wind generating source...
