Comprehensive Performance Assessment on Various Battery Energy Storage Systems

Battery Storage for Supplementing Renewable Energy Systems

Battery energy storage can be integrated with renewable energy generation systems in either grid-connected or standalone applications. For stand-alone systems, batteries are essential to store electricity for use when the sun is not shining or when the wind is not blowing. For grid-connected systems, batteries add value to intermittent renewable resources by facilitating a better match between ...

Model Predictive Control for Distributed Microgrid Battery Energy Storage Systems

This paper proposes a new convex model predictive control strategy for dynamic optimal power flow between battery energy storage systems distributed in an AC microgrid. The proposed control strategy uses a new problem formulation, based on a linear d–q reference frame voltage-current model and linearised power flow approximations. This allows the optimal power flows to be solved as a convex opt...

An Energy-Based Control Strategy for Battery Energy Storage Systems: A Case Study on Microgrid Applications

Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) with proportional-integral (PI) control methods have been widely studied in microgrids (MGs). However, the performance of PI control methods might be unsatisfactory for BESSs due to the nonlinear characteristics of the system. To overcome this problem, an energy-based (EB) control method is applied to control the converter of a BESS in this study. The EB m...

Wind energy management with battery storage

This paper considers short-term energy management of a wind power plant with battery storage, in order to smooth the variations of power output to the external grid. An optimal on-line heuristic is developed for a control environment, in which decision-making is independent of wind historical data and forecasts.
