The use of hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) in renewable energy sources (RES) of photovoltaic (PV) power generation provides many advantages. These include increased balance between generation and demand, improvement in power quality, flattening PV intermittence, frequency, and voltage regulation in Microgrid (MG) operation. Ideally, HESS has one storage is dedicated for high energy storage (HES) and another storage for high power storage (HPS) purpose. HES is used to fulfill long-term energy demand, while HPS is used to handle power transients and fast load fluctuations. This paper examines HESS comprehensively for PV power generation and focuses on its ability to combine two storage technologies. The two storage technologies include high energy and high power. This paper also analyzes the important aspects of advance HESS in PV power generation in the context of capacity sizing, power converter topology and strategies management energy. Several capacity sizing methods were critically reviewed and tabulated. Power converter (PC) topologies are classified and briefly discussed regarding their advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, energy management strategies with various control techniques are critically classified and evaluated for better future direction. In addition, the implementation of HESS on PV power plants in current real projects is presented and evaluated. Finally, this paper can be considered as useful guide for the use of HESS in PV power plants including features, limitations, and real applications.
This paper presents a new energy and power management control strategy for battery electric vehicle (BEV) with supercapacitors (SCs) based on speed command and acceleration estimation. The purpose of the control strategy is to increase the capability of regenerative braking energy capturing and to improve DC bus voltage regulation. The control strategy uses cascade voltage and current control of SCs. The voltage and current references are calculated based on the speed command and acceleration including the power losses of the system. The whole electrical drive system is mathematically modelled and the core features of the control strategy are presented. Numerical simulation demonstrates the benefits of the proposed control strategy in term of energy saving and DC bus voltage regulation improvement compared to the BEV without SCs.
Government policies are crucial factors for supporting the growth of the electric vehicle (EV) industry—a growth that can be encouraged, for example, by subsidization designed to reduce the considerable anxiety stemming from the inconvenience of refueling at public charging stations. Subsidizing low priority charging for residential enables cost-effective load management for example controlling of EV charging power for grid reliability at the off-peak rate for 24 h. This solution provides the convenient recharging of EVs at home and prevents an expensive grid upgradation. To advance our understanding of the EV situation, this research used a regression model to forecast the growth rate of the EV market alongside the EV expansion policies in Thailand. The agreement between a policy and forecasting urges the government to prepare power system adequacy for EV loading. The analysis showed that power demand and voltage reduction in a typical low-voltage distribution system that assumes maximum EV loading constitute voltage violations. To address this limitation, this study proposed a rule-based strategy wherein low priority smart EV charging is regulated. The numerical validation of the strategy indicated that the strategy reduced power demand by 25% and 39% compared with that achieved under uncontrolled and time of use (TOU) charging, respectively. The strategy also limited voltage reduction and prolonged battery life. The study presents implications for policymakers and electricity companies with respect to possible technical approaches to stimulating EV penetration.
