“…The power costs of SMES are less than their energy costs, and this is an indication that they are suitable for high-power applications. Table 1 shows the cost comparison for the storage technologies [16]. As can be seen from the table, SMES has a lower power cost compared to pumped-hydro storage, lithium-ion batteries and other energy storage devices.…”

The necessary Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) capability is very important to wind turbines. This paper presents a method to enhance LVRT capability of doubly fed induction generators-(DFIGs-) based wind turbine systems with series superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) in the rotor side. When grid fault occurs, series SMES in the rotor side is utilized to produce a desired output voltage and absorbs energy. Compared with other methods which enhance LVRT capability with Superconducting Fault-Current Limiter-Magnetic Energy Storage System (SFCL-MESS), this strategy can control the output voltage of SMES to suppress the transient AC voltage component in the rotor directly, which is more effective and rapid. Theoretical study of the DFIG under low voltage fault is developed; the simulation results are operated by MATLAB/Simulink.

“…In addition, when coupled with some level of ESS or TES fitted with buyback heaters such plants would have the added versatility of providing a utility size regenerative breaking element capable of harnessing energy that would otherwise be wasted from either traditional fossil fuel based or other RE systems, especially in the event of sharp dips in demand occurring, thus likening the complete CSP with TES and ESS system to a fast dynamic, PHS plant. In a recent review by Akinyele and Rayudu [12] the authors present both the qualitative and quantitative properties of energy storage media and systems in general, with one section highlighting the limitations of some PHS in performing frequency regulation.…”

The proliferation of non-scheduled generation from renewable electrical energy sources such concentrated solar power (CSP) presents a need for enabling scheduled generation by incorporating energy storage; either via directly coupled Thermal Energy Storage (TES) or Electrical Storage Systems (ESS) distributed within the electrical network or grid. The challenges for 100% renewable energy generation are: to minimise capitalisation cost and to maximise energy dispatch capacity. The aims of this review article are twofold: to review storage technologies and to survey the most appropriate optimisation techniques to determine optimal operation and size of storage of a system to operate in the Australian National Energy Market (NEM). Storage technologies are reviewed to establish indicative characterisations of energy density, conversion efficiency, charge/discharge rates and costings. A partitioning of optimisation techniques based on methods most appropriate for various time scales is performed: from "whole of year", seasonal, monthly, weekly and daily averaging to those best suited matching the NEM bid timing of five minute dispatch bidding, averaged on the half hour as the trading settlement spot price. Finally, a selection of the most promising research directions and methods to determine the optimal operation and sizing of storage for renewables in the grid is presented.

Abstract:In the last few decades, renewable energy sources (RESs) have been integrated into the electrical grid in order to curb the deficiency of energy owing to, among other factors, the depletion of fossil fuels and the increasing awareness of climate change. However, the stochastic nature of these sources, along with changes in levels of energy consumption, signifies that attention now needs to be paid for energy storage systems (ESSs). One of the most promising RESs is concentration photovoltaic (CPV) energy, owing to the high efficiency obtained and its sustainability regarding environmental issues. However, as CPV systems work only with direct solar radiation, they require ESSs in order to smooth the variations in the energy generated. This paper deals with the integration into the grid of a CPV plant that employs a hybrid ESS (HESS) based on ultracapacitors and batteries. The HESS allows the complete system to inject a constant active power level into the grid and thus flatten the profile of the energy generated. This goal is achieved by using a power electronic topology based on various DC-DC converters and a DC-AC converter, both of which share the same DC link. The control system is tailored in order to decouple the active-power and the reactive-power injections. Simulation results obtained using PSCAD/EMTDC (Power System Computer Aided Design/Electromagnetic Transient Direct Current) show the resulting performance of a 200 kW CPV plant with a hybrid ESS.
