In this paper, a model predictive control (MPC)-based coordinated scheduling framework for variable wind generation and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is presented. On the basis of the short-term forecast of available wind generation and price information, a joint look-ahead optimization is performed by the wind farm and storage system to determine their net power injection to the elect...

In this paper, we present a novel decentralised management technique that allows electricity micro-storage devices, deployed within individual homes as part of a smart electricity grid, to converge to profitable and efficient behaviours. Specifically, we propose the use of software agents, residing on the users’ smart meters, to automate and optimise the charging cycle of micro-storage devices ...

In this paper we present the design of a rechargeable battery storage device for use in an all-electric ship. The purpose of this device is to provide power of predictable quality to selected equipment. In addition a recharging unit is proposed for recharging the battery from the ship’s electric bus.

The recently developed solid oxide metal-air redox battery is a new technology capable of high-rate chemistry. Here we report that the performance, reversibility and stability of a solid oxide iron-air redox battery can be significantly improved by nanostructuring energy storage materials from a carbothermic reaction.

This paper presents an optimal design with improved algorithm for optimal sizing of the standalone wind-battery power generation system, reporting minimum total cost of the system with satisfying the requirement of power supply reliability. The adopted method is found to be superior over earlier traditional methods. The energy storage system using a kinetic battery model may act as a source or ...

A methodology is developed for calculating the correct size of a photovoltaic (PV)-hybrid system and for optimizing its management. The power for the hybrid system comes from PV panels and an engine-generator – that is, a gasoline or diesel engine driving an electrical generator. The combined system is a stand-alone or autonomous system, in the sense that no third energy source is brought in to...

The purpose of the work is to investigate a monitoring of autonomous photovoltaic battery wind turbine hybrid system (PVBWHS). The PV array, wind turbine and the storage batteries sizes are estimated based the site of application; Jazan province, KSA. The sizing result of the proposed PVBWHS is generator with 2.16kW, wind turbine generator with 2kW, Battery Bank with ~400Ah, and 5kW ratings of ...

Electricity loads in buildings are increasingly supplied by distributed renewable generation sources such as photovoltaic (PV) modules or fuel cells. Often these systems are combined with an electricity storage to raise the level of self-consumption in buildings and to reduce the load on the electric grid. PV production and battery storage are both inherently based on direct current (DC) power....

A hybrid energy storage system (HESS) composed of a battery and super-capacitor (SC) can make full use of advantages in energy and power density, which can further improve the performance of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). Most studies have been limited to configuration and control to reduce the burden and prolong the life cycle of the battery, seldom focusing on the redesign of energy manageme...
