The penetration of renewable energy systems in remote areas contributes to reply to its accrued demand of electricity. Renewable energy systems as photovoltaic generation systems and wind generation systems are characterized by their unpredictable and intermittent character presenting the main drawback of these systems. Although this advantage, the problems caused by the intermittency of these systems can be resolved by employing a battery energy storage system. To this end this paper proposes and analyses an efficient and optimal methodology dedicated to applications fed by renewable energy systems. Since an optimal energy storage bank sizing is needed in order to assure the continuity and reliability of electricity supply of remote areas from these kinds of energy sources. The first part of this article describes the renewable hybrid system structure and different factors influencing the storage system dimensioning. Different scenarios of renewable sources power generations in order to develop an optimal battery bank sizing algorithm are investigated the second part of this article. The formulation of the algorithm is finally presented and discussed.

To deal with the technical challenges of renewable energy penetration, this paper focuses on improving the grid voltage and frequency responses in a hybrid renewable energy source integrated power system following load and generation contingency events. A consolidated methodology is proposed to employ a battery energy storage system (BESS) to contribute to voltage regulation through droop-type control and frequency regulation by assimilated inertia emulation (IE) and droop-type control. In addition, a novel frequency-dependent state-of-charge (SOC) recovery (FDSR) is presented to regulate BESS power consumption within the FDSR constraints and recharge the battery during idle periods whenever needed. The efficacy of the proposed BESS controller is demonstrated in an IEEE-9 bus system with a 22.5% photovoltaics (PV) and wind penetration level. The simulation results obtained manifest the satisfactory performance of the proposed controller in regulating simultaneous voltage and frequency in terms of lower rate of change of frequency and better frequency nadir. Furthermore, the proposed FDSR demonstrates its superiority at the time of SOC recovery compared to the conventional approach.

Due to the increased development of the smart grid, it is becoming crucial to have an efficient energy management system for a time-of-use (TOU) rate industrial user in Taiwan. In this paper, an extension of the direct search method (DSM) is developed to deal with the operating schedule of a TOU rate industrial user under the demand bidding mechanism of Taipower. To maximize the total incentive obtained from the Taiwan Power Company (TPC, namely Taipower), several operational strategies using a battery energy storage system (BESS) are evaluated in the study to perform peak shaving and realize energy conservation. The effectiveness of the proposed DSM algorithm is validated with the TOU rate industrial user of the TPC. Numerical experiments are carried out to provide a favorable indication of whether to invest in a BESS for the renewable energy-based TOU rate industrial user in order to execute the demand bidding program (DBP).
