“…SMES coils present large amounts of energy instantaneously and upon discharge, as well as an unlimited number of charge and discharge cycles with high efficiencies. Their energy discharge capacity is less than 100 ms, which presents a faster response time than batteries; however, the system requires constant cooling [ 18 ]. The main parameters for SMES design that could affect its storage are coil configuration, energy capacity, and operating temperature [ 1 ].…”

This work has its origin in the growing demands of energy regulations to meet future local targets and to propose a global implementation framework. A literature review related to conventional electrical energy storage systems has been carried out, presenting different cases analyzed at building scale to deepen in nature-inspired processes that propose reductions in environmental impact and present improvements in these storage devices. The use of batteries, especially lithium-ion batteries, is the most prominent among the electrical storage applications; however, improvements have been proposed through hydrogen batteries or the implementation of more environmentally friendly materials to manufacture the electrodes. In this sense, oriented to creating systems designed to protect the environment, important advances have been made in the development of storage systems based on biomimetic strategies. The latter range from the generation of energy through the respiratory processes of microorganisms to the recreation of the generation, storage, and release of energy using the thermoelectric and thermoregulatory characteristics of some insects. These facts show that the trend in research towards improving existing systems continues but reinforces the idea that new solutions must be environmentally friendly, so there is still a long way to improving the processes established thus far.

“…In order to maintain the sustainable development of power system, the penetration of renewable distributed generation (DG) in the power system is increasing continuously. The uncertainty, variability and nondispatchability nature of the renewables have challenged the secure and reliable operation of power systems, in particular on distribution networks (DNs) [1][2][3]. In order to mitigate the negative impacts rendered by the integration of DG without unnecessary DG power curtailment and load shedding, energy storage systems (ESSs) have been identified [3].…”

Energy storage system (ESS) has been advocated as one of the key elements for the future energy system by the fast power regulation and energy transfer capabilities. In particular, for distribution networks with high penetration of renewables, ESS plays an important role in bridging the gap between the supply and demand, maximizing the benefits of renewables and providing various types of ancillary services to cope the intermittences and fluctuations, consequently improving the resilience, reliability and flexibility. To solve the voltage fluctuations caused by the high permeability of renewables in distribution networks, an optimal capacity allocation strategy of ESS is proposed in this paper. Taking the life cycle cost, arbitrage income and the benefit of reducing network losses into consideration, a bilevel optimization model of ESS capacity allocation is established, the coordination between active/reactive power of associate power conversion system is considered, and the large scale nonlinear programming problem is solved using genetic algorithm, simulated annealing and mixed integer second-order cone programming method. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm have been verified.

“…The improvement of energy storage devices is critical for society to meet increasing energy demands and allow for the integration of renewable energy sources into energy grids [1][2][3] . Electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), a sub-set of supercapacitors, are among the most promising energy storage devices due to their high power densities, which result in rapid charging/discharging times, and excellent cyclability.…”

Two-dimensional electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are candidate electrode materials for use in electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) structure-property investigations due to their well-defined crystalline structures. Their promising capacitive performance was first illustrated by EDLCs constructed with the layered framework Ni3(HITP)2 (HITP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene) and an organic electrolyte. Despite this promise, there have been few follow-up studies on the use of these frameworks in EDLCs, raising questions about the generality of the results. Here, we demonstrate the high capacitive performance of the layered framework Cu3(HHTP)2 (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) in EDLCs with an organic electrolyte and compare its performance with Ni3(HITP)2. Cu3(HHTP)2 exhibits a specific capacitance of 110 – 114 F g–1 at low current densities of 0.04 – 0.05 A g–1 and shows modest capacitance retentions (66 %) at current densities up to 2 A g–1, mirroring the performance of Ni3(HITP)2. However, we also explore the limitations of Cu3(HHTP)2 in EDLCs, finding a limited cell voltage window of 1.3 V and only moderate capacitance retention over 30,000 cycles. This illustrates that these materials require further development to improve their EDLC performance, particularly to reach similar cycling performance levels as porous carbons. Despite this, our work underscores the utility of framework materials in EDLCs and suggests that capacitive performance is largely independent of the identity of the metal node and organic linker molecule, instead being dictated by the three-dimensional structure of the framework. These important insights will aid the design of future conductive MOFs for use in EDLCs.
