A critical enabling technology for electrified vehicles and renewable energy resources is battery energy storage. Advanced battery systems represent a promising technology for these applications, however their dynamics are governed by relatively complex electrochemical phenomena whose parameters degrade over time and vary across material design.

In high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids, the reference values of power controllers are normally adjusted based on DC-link as DC is regulated by droop controllers. As a matter fact, except for slack bus, there trade-off between power-sharing and regulation all remaining HVDC buses. The main issue with this control strategy that in case contingencies, significant oscillations throughout grids...

The deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS) is rapidly increasing as a prominent option to support future renewable-based systems. However, despite its benefits from technical perspective, there are still challenges related economic viability. On the other hand, sizing BESS considering only their viability can be impractical because financial objectives could in conflict with aspect...

High performance rechargeable batteries are urgently demanded for future energy storage systems. Here, we adopted a lithium-carbon battery configuration. Instead of using carbon materials as the surface provider for lithium-ion adsorption and desorption, we realized induced fluorination of carbon nanotube array (CNTA) paper cathodes, with the source of fluoride ions from electrolytes, by an in-...

To satisfy the energy storage needs of society in the long-term, an advance in battery energy density is required. The lithium–oxygen battery is one of the emerging opportunities available for enhanced energy storage. The challenge for the Li–O2 battery is the progress of development of the O2-cathode that allows reversible formation of Li2O2 in a stable electrolyte within its pores. 2012 Elsev...

This paper presents a novel multi-port DC/DC converter which is suitable to be used as the interface of hybrid renewable energy systems. The converter contains three unidirectional power flow ports which two of them are input ports and are connected to two independent energy sources while the third one is the output port that feeds a standalone load. Furthermore, the proposed converter contains...

Distributed Battery Energy Storage Systems, controlled either per resource or in coordination, can provide many services to the network operators. The present study emphasizes the contributions of dedicated scheduling applications in order to enhance the reliability, performance and life expectation of the storage assets, based on the Nice Grid case, a Smart Grid pilot project.
