“…As the most popular energy storage device, battery is utilized in this study for its high energy density. In the meantime, SMES is also utilized in this study for its high power density, high cyclic life, fast dynamic response, and the ability to deliver high levels of current in a short amount of time [25,26]. Since battery is normally a microgrid component, there is no need to implement a specialized battery storage system for the MMGs.…”

Multiple microgrids (MMGs) are clusters of interconnected microgrids that have great potential for integrating a large number of distributed renewable energies (DREs). The grid-connected control scheme is important for the exploration of the MMGs’ operation potential. In this paper, a multi-layer coordinated control scheme for DC interconnected MMGs is proposed to optimize their operation and improve their operation friendliness. An adaptive droop control method is designed for the DC connection interfaces of the MMGs to adaptively manage the power exchange among the sub-microgrids. Meanwhile, the strategy of power fluctuation suppression is developed for the hybrid energy storage system (HESS) in the MMGs. The coordination among the sub-microgrids and the HESS is then clarified by the proposed control scheme to optimize the AC tie-line power and make the MMGs a highly coordinated collective. A case study is performed in PSCAD/EMTDC based on the demonstration project in Guangxi, China. The results show that the proposed multi-layer coordinated control scheme realizes the coordinated operation of the MMGs, fully exploits the complementarity of the MMGs, and improves the operation friendliness among the sub-microgrids and the utility grid. Thus the integration and utilization of a large number of DREs is enhanced.

“…Due to its fast response, a SMES works well to maintain the voltage at the DC-link and ensures a stable operation for the propulsion system, which is a crucial for the EA design. SMES devices have been proposed and used in several applications, including a hybrid vehicle, electric ships, and microgrids [19]- [21]. The stored energy of a SMES is calculated as follows:…”

The increase in aircraft passengers and airfreight traffic has given rise to concerns about greenhouse gas emissions for traditional aircraft and the resulting damage to the environment. This has led several companies and organizations, including NASA, to set goals to enhance aircraft efficiency as well as reduce fuel burn, pollution, and noise for commercial aircraft. The most notable electric aircraft (EA) concept is the N3-X, which was developed by NASA to achieve environmental goals while maintaining the annual growth of the aviation industry. However, one of the main challenges that EA facing is their overall weight. This paper proposes and explores an improved power system architecture for use in EA based on the N3-X concept. The number of superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) and fault current limiter (FCL) devices required can be reduced by utilizing multifunctional superconducting devices that combine the functionalities of both a SMES and a FCL, thus reducing the weight and cost of the EA by eliminating a complete device. The proposed control technique offers greater flexibility in determining the appropriate size of coils to function as a FCL, based on the fault type. The proposed EA power system architecture including the SMES-FCL devices is modelled in Simulink/Matlab to test the system performance under different failure scenarios. Index Terms-Electric aircraft (EA), fault current limiter (FCL), superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), turboelectric distributed propulsion system (TeDP).

“…Lin and Lei used SMES and battery to smooth output of wind farm. On this basis, we propose the HESS in this paper with SMES and battery to deal with fluctuation of wind power for the advantages of their compensatory characters: (a) SMES is a good candidate for its high cyclic life and power density, high power rating and low self‐discharge rate, and these advantages make it a good alternative in coping with high wind fluctuation; (b) battery is efficient at supplying low and steady power and has outstanding advantages in technical maturity and wide availability, which make it another alternative of wind‐storage solution.…”

Over the past years, wind energy has been considered as a promising solution for clean and sustainable energy development, but wind curtailment remains a challenge to wind power development. On this basis, utilization of non-grid-connected wind power becomes crucial and necessary as it can mitigate wind curtailment and improve energy efficiency. This paper proposes the collaboration strategy and optimization model of wind farm-hybrid energy storage system (WF-HESS) for nongrid-connected wind power based on battery and superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) whose combination can effectively cope with fluctuation and intermittence of wind input. The optimization problem is simultaneously investigated by the minimization of total cost, wind curtailment magnitude, and loss of power supply probability (LPSP). The multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) is introduced to find available solutions, and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is applied to determine the optimal one.Results are obtained for a case study, and the effectiveness and the feasibility of proposed model are verified by a comparative analysis and a sensitivity analysis.Results analysis and discussion show that the WF-HESS model and the application of HESS have important influence on promoting utilization of non-grid-connected wind power and mitigating wind curtailment.
