Economic efficiency of a renewable energy independent microgrid with energy storage by a sodium–sulfur battery or organic chemical hydride

Modelling and sizing of NaS (sodium sulfur) battery energy storage system for extending wind power performance in Crete Island

“…[14], an analysis and investigation of operating methods and costs of an independent microgrid is proposed by incorporating a NaS battery and an energy storage system using organic hydrides. A proposal of a stochastic model predictive control scheme for wind farm dispatching employing probabilistic wind power forecasts with NaS battery energy storage is made in Ref.…”

Stability Enhancement of a Power System Containing High-Penetration Intermittent Renewable Generation

“…Storage systems have been also analysed from economic and environmental points of view [15,16]. In [15], NaS batteries are compared to a storage system based on organic chemical hydride.…”

“…In [15], NaS batteries are compared to a storage system based on organic chemical hydride. However, the dynamic performance (fast charging/discharging capability) of the NaS battery should also be considered for a more complete analysis.…”

Control of cyclic fluctuations in solid oxide fuel cell cogeneration accompanied by photovoltaics

“…A number of studies have been conducted on the joint use of independent distributed energy and renewable energy. They include the control of reactive power and voltage of a microgrid [15], planning the interconnection of a SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) triple combined cycle and large-scale photovoltaics [16,17], the energy balance of electricity and heat [18], a system using energy storage through a sodiumesulfur battery, and an organic chemical hydride [19], a system with new inverter control [20], a system for a detached island [21], and the control of output fluctuations by using a water electrolyzer [22]. A microgrid with an interconnection to renewable energy and a fuel cell has a small environmental impact and uses next-generation technology.…”
