Proven energy storage system applications for power systems stability and transition issues

<span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Renewable Energy (RE) penetration is a new phenomenon in power systems. In the advent of high penetration of RE in the systems, several issues have to be addressed especially when it involves the stability and flexibility of the power systems. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) has gained popularity due to its capability to store energy and to serve multiple purposes in solving various power system concerns. Additionally, several BESS can be combined to operate as Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This study will involve the design and implementation of BESS for five potential customer sites for the demonstration project and to be possibly integrated into one VPP system. The study is expected to demonstrate bill savings to the customers with BESS due to peak demand reduction and energy arbitrage savings.</span><table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width: 444.85pt; border-collapse: collapse; border: none; mso-border-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184; mso-padding-alt: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-border-insideh: .5pt solid windowtext; mso-border-insidev: .5pt solid windowtext;" width="593" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr style="mso-yfti-irow: 0; mso-yfti-firstrow: yes; mso-yfti-lastrow: yes; height: 63.4pt;"><td style="width: 290.6pt; border: none; border-top: solid windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-top-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; padding: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; height: 63.4pt;" valign="top" width="387"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; color: black; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Renewable Energy (RE) penetration is a new phenomenon in power systems.

Hybrid Energy Storage

Power systems have faced significant changes in recent years due to the integration of renewable energies in the power grid. Thanks to its multiple advantages, the so-called clean energies play an important role in the development of the electrical system, allowing the active participation of end users in energy markets. However, the intermittent nature of these sources has delayed their full integration into power systems; unless operated in conjunction with energy storage systems (e.g. batteries, ultracapacitors, etc.) to smooth out the generation and match the demand. This article presents a power sharing methodology for the exchange of energy between batteries and ultracapacitors in a photovoltaic installation. The case study comprises a hybrid energy storage system, on-site generation and a residential user, where both the load and generation profiles are analyzed using wavelet transform. The high- and low-frequency components of both profiles are used to calculate the energy that is injected into the energy storage system. Results show that by separating the components of the signal in high and low frequencies it is possible to take advantage of the characteristics of each storage technology, extending its life cycle.

Battery Energy

Recently, the interest in utilizing energy storage systems (ESSs), particularly batteries, has increased. ESSs are employed for several enhancement tasks in power systems on both the operation and planning scales. On the operation side, ESSs play a main role in offering several ancillary services. In the context of planning, ESSs are used for asset upgrade deferral among other grid applications. This work employs a battery energy storage system (BESS) to minimize the electricity bill charges associated with global adjustment for large consumers in the jurisdiction of Ontario, Canada. An optimization formulation for sizing and scheduling the BESS, to minimize the utility charges and gain profits from other revenue streams, such as energy price arbitrage (EPA), was developed and implemented. The results show the economic feasibility of the developed algorithm to minimize the annual bills of real customers and gain profits. A sensitivity analysis was also carried out to show the potential of the proposed method in providing significant benefits and gains for customers.
