Flywheel energy storage control for use with intermittent energy source
Systems used to extract renewable energy often are subject to suboptimal working conditions due to the intermittent nature of most renewable energy sources. The flywheel energy storage system suggested in this paper utilises an electronic clutch that engages and disengages the generator from the flywheel of the renewable energy system in an attempt to prevent the generator rotor from coming to a ...

Control and small-signal analysis of battery and supercapacitor hybrid energy storage systems
This paper is devoted to control strategies for an active battery and supercapacitor hybrid energy storage system using the master-slave control scheme, where the charging and discharging currents of the supercapacitor are dependent on that of battery and the current sharing ratio depends upon the load conditions. A small-signal model is proposed, which considers the variations in the currents of ...

Dispatching of wind farms using battery energy storage
In this paper, a STATCOM interfaced battery energy storage system (BESS) is considered for smoothing intermittent power output of a large wind farm so that it can be dispatched. The main advantage of the system is that it can inject both real power (by charging/discharging the BESS) and the reactive power to the system. The paper investigates the main design issues related to BESS – the control ...

A frequency control method for isolated photovoltaic-diesel hybrid power system without smoothing renewable power variations
In this paper, a frequency control method is introduced for photovoltaic-diesel hybrid system by using a load estimator and an energy storage system. The proposed method is compared with an energy storage based conventional control method and with a fuzzy based frequency control method. Simulation results show that the proposed method is feasible to reduce the frequency deviations of the isolated ...

STATCOM based voltage-frequency regulation for SEIG driven by an uncontrolled speed turbine
This article presents the analysis and the control of a stand-alone self excited induction generator (SEIG) intended for rural applications. SEIG along with the STATCOM with battery energy storage (BES) in its DC side makes it possible to control the terminal voltage and frequency during rotor speed and load variation. Constant frequency control is carried out by the load angle 'δ', without rotor ...

A dynamic virtual power station model comprising small-scale energy zones
Concerns over global warming and high oil prices are expected to lead to a continuous increase in electricity generated by distributed renewable energy sources and small-scale embedded generators (SSEGs). This increase in SSEG will pose numerous technical challenges for distribution network operators. The small-scale energy zone (SSEZ) concept seeks to overcome these challenges using appropriate ...

A control method to improve the efficiency of a soft–switching non–isolated bidirectional DC–DC converter for hybrid and plug–in electric vehicle applications
Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) can be adopted in hybrid, plug–in hybrid, and pure electric vehicles (HEV, PHEV, and EV), where a bidirectional DC–DC converter (BDC) is used to connect batteries and ultra–capacitors. The efficiency improvement of the BDC is beneficial to increase the efficiency viability of HESS. Due to ZVS, high efficiency can be obtained at heavy load operations while the ...
