The paper presents the research results of a few different conception of stationary energy storage system in a 3 kV DC system. The most attention is focused on the comparison between two topologies of the ESS: energy storage system with supercapacitor and with supercapacitor and LFP battery. The variants are compared in terms of energy saving and peak power demand reduction. The implementation of ESS with SC results the decrease of active energy drawn from traction substation. Meanwhile the implementation of ESS with SC and LFP battery leads to achieving of two aims - decreasing of active energy consumption by maximization of regenerative energy utilization and reduction of 15 - min. peak power demand of traction substation.

This paper introduces the concept of fault-tolerant control (FTC) of a multi-string battery energy storage system (BESS) in the dynamic reduction system of a traction substation load (DROPT). The major task of such a system is to reduce the maximum demand for contracted peak power, averaged for 15 min. The proposed concept, based on a multi-task control algorithm, takes into account: a three-threshold power limitation of the traction substation, two-level reduction of available power of a BESS and a multi-string structure of a BESS. It ensures the continuity of the maximum peak power demand at the contracted level even in the case of damage or disconnection of at least one chain of cells of the battery energy storage (BES) or at least one converter of the power conversion system (PCS). The proposed control strategy has been tested in a model of the system for dynamic reduction of traction substation load with a rated power of 5.5 MW. Two different BESS implementations have been proposed and several possible cases of failure of operations have been investigated. The simulation results have shown that the implementation of a multi-string BESS and an appropriate control algorithm (FTC) may allow for maintenance of the major assumption of DROPT, which is demanded power reduction (from 3.1 MW to 0.75 MW), even with a reduction of the BESS available power by at least 25% and more in the even in fault cases.

The paper presents the results of economic study of energy storage system (ESS) implemented in 3 kV DC power supply system. Two conceptions of ESS have been investigated: ESS with supercapacitor (SC) and hybrid ESS (HESS) with SC and LFP battery. The investigated locations of energy storage systems are considered among existing traction substations in two railway lines with different density of train operation. The considered aims of energy storage system implementation are decreasing of energy consumption by maximum regenerative energy utilization and reduction of peak 15- min power demand of traction substation. The paper presents a method of regenerative power estimation depending on the location of the considered ESS implementation point. Also the method of optimal location selection of ESS in terms of minimization of Simple Payback Time (SPBT) of investment is presented. Besides the influence of initial cost value as well as energy price on the SPBT value are investigated. The results are compared between two railway lines with different number of trains operating.

With the growing need for the use of electricity, power plants sometimes cannot generate enough power during the high demand periods. Thus various methods are introduced to solve this situation. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology seems to be a good solution to both peaking power demand and intermittent energy utilization transformed from renewable energy source like wind energy. Utilization of heat generated from the air compression process is a crucial problem of this technology. A compressed air energy storage system, with humid air as working fluid, is designed in this paper. In this system, heat of compressing air is transformed to the latent heat of water vapour, decreasing the power consumption of compressor and increasing energy generated per volume of storage. A Compressed Humid Air Energy Storage (CHAES) system model is established in this paper to simulate the performance of this system. Then the performance of this new system is evaluated by comparison to conventional CAES system, based on the simulation result. The result of this paper confirm the growing interest to CAES as a solution to peaking power demand and intermittent energy utilization, and indicates that CHAES system, as a great improvement of CAES system, has huge potential in the future.

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.

In this study, a general building of medium size with an Energy Storage Systems (ESS)-connected Photovoltaic (PV) system (energy storage system that is connected to a photovoltaic system) was chosen to develop a tool for a better economic evaluation of its installation and use. The newly obtained results, from the revised economic evaluation algorithm that was proposed in this study, showed the effective return of investment period (ROI) would be 8.62 to 12.77 years. The ratio of maximum power demand to contract demand and the falling cost of PVs and ESS was the factors that could affect the ROI. While using the cost scenario of PVs and ESS from 2019 to 2024, as estimated by the experts, the ROI was significantly improved. The ROI was estimated to be between 4.26 to 8.56 years by the year 2024 when the cost scenario was considered. However, this result is obtained by controlling the ratio of maximum power demand to contract demand. Continued favorable government policies concerning renewable energy would be crucial in expanding the supply and investment in renewable energy resources, until the required ROI is attained.
