Abstract Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are considered a promising energy storage system. A model-based analysis is one of the effective approaches for the study of ZABs. This technique, however, requires reliable discharge data as regards parameter estimation and model validation. This work, therefore, provides the data required for the modeling and simulation of ZABs. Each set of data includes working time, cell voltage, current, capacity, power, energy, and temperature. The data can be divided into three categories: discharge profiles at different constant currents, dynamic behavior at different step changes of discharge current, and dynamic behavior at different random step changes of discharge current. Constant current discharge profile data focus on the evolution of voltage through time. The data of step changes emphasize the dynamic behavior of voltage responding to the change of discharge current. Besides, the data of random step changes are similar to the data of step changes, but the patterns of step changes are random. Such data support the modeling of a zinc-air battery for both theoretical and empirical approaches.

Energy storage system (ESS) plays a prominent role in renewable energy (RE) to overcome the intermittent of RE energy condition and improve energy utilization in the power system. However, ESS for residential applications requires specific and different configuration. Hence, this review paper aims to provide information for system builders to decide the best setup configuration of ESS for residential application. In this paper, the aim is to provide an insight into the critical elements of the energy storage technology for residential application. The update on ESS technology, battery chemistry, battery charging, and monitoring system and power inverter technology are reviewed. Then, the operation, the pro, and cons of each variant of these technologies are comprehensively studied. This paper suggested that the ESS for residential ESS requires NMC battery chemistry because it delivers an all-rounded performance as compared to other battery chemistries. The four-stages constant current (FCC) charging technique is recommended because of the fast charging capability and safer than other charging techniques reviewed. Next, the battery management system (BMS) is recommended to adapt in advance machine learning method to estimate the state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH) and internal temperature (IT) to increase the safety and prolong the lifespan of the batteries. Finally, these recommendations and solutions aimed to improve the utilization of RE energy in power system, especially in residential ESS application and offer the best option that is available on the shelf for the residential ESS application in the future.

Purpose This paper aims to propose a simplified model of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRBs) for VRB energy storage system (ESS) design considering the operational characteristics of VRB, and a VRB ESS, considering the low terminal voltage of VRB, was presented. Design/methodology/approach According to the designed topology of VRB ESS and the simplified model of VRB, a small perturbation analysis method was used to establish the transfer function of VRB ESS, and the controller parameters of VRB ESS under constant charging and discharging current were designed. Findings Test results have demonstrated that this designed VRB ESS has fast response, small overshoot, strong adaptation and high steady precision, which strongly verified the reasonable design. Practical implications This simplified model of VRB can be suitably used for VRB ESS design. This designed VRB ESS realized the bidirectional power flow of VRB and AC grid. In this designed VRB ESS, phase-shifted full-bridge converter and a single-phase inverter were used and VRB was charged and discharged under constant current. Originality/value The paper presents a topology of VRB ESS which can realize the bidirectional power flow of VRB and AC grid. Considering the complexity of VRB model, a simplified model of VRB was proposed for the controller parameters design of VRB ESS, and this method can be used in application.

The aim of this paper is to design the charger for an electric motorcycle and analyze the behavior of voltage and current value during charging. The AC voltage supply from a residence is converted to DC voltage to charge the energy storage system by controlling the voltage and current values suitable for the charge process in all periods. The designed charger is based on the principle of a buck converter with using constant current and constant voltage technique in order to charge a 12 V, 21 Ah lead-acid battery inside the electric motorcycle. By considering the results, the first state of battery charging is a constant current mode by using the current of 5 A with the initial voltage of 55 V. In the second mode, the battery charging is done by constant voltage of 72 V and the current is reduced until the battery is full. Moreover, the charging time is about 6-8 hours.

Abstract In the paper, the problem of voltage imbalance in supercapacitor bank caused by different capacitances and leakage resistances is considered. The authors propose capacitance balancing in combination with passive resistor voltage balancing as an efficient method for decreasing the cell voltage imbalance and increasing the effective energy capacity of supercapacitor bank. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated theoretically and verified experimentally on eight supercapacitor cells.

ABSTRACTA novel Ce4+/Ce3+- V2+/V3+ redox flow cell has been investigated. It was composed of the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple, which replaced the V5+/V4+ couple of the all6vanadium redox flow cell, and the V2+/V3+ couple. The normal potential and the kinetic parameters for anodic oxidation of Ce3+ and cathodic reduction of Ce4+ were measured. The results showed that the surface of platinum electrode was fully covered with type I oxide that inhibited the reduction of Ce4+. The reversibility of the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple improved with the increase of H2SO4 concentration, but both higher energy efficiency and coulombic efficiency were observed in 0.5 mol/dm3 H2SO4 solution. Different electrochemically active substances were found to exist at various state of charge (SOC) and the reversibility of the Ce4+/Ce3+ couple at the carbon electrode was found to be superior to platinum electrode. Periodic charge6discharge measurements were conducted under constant current and constant load with the proposed Ce6V redox flow cell. The results indicated that the coulombic efficiency remained around 90% and the discharge voltage stabilized between 1.5 and 1.2 V. But as the cycle numbers increased, the discharge capacity declined a bit and a better result might be expected by improving the separator materials and increase the concentration of electro6active materials. By comparison with the existing Fe6Cr, Fe6Ti and all6vanadium redox flow cell, the Ce6V system has a higher open6circuit voltage (OCV). And results from this preliminary study suggest that the novel Ce6V redox flow cell is a promising energy storage system and is worthy of further studies.


The battery energy storage system (BESS) is basically used to smooth wind / solar power controlling. The constant current controller method is employed in order to eliminate the output fluctuation of Photovoltaic/ BESS power generation system. In this presented paper, the detailed description of the Grid associated PV structure along with battery and load is modeled and simulated in MATLAB / SIMULINK software.
