When an islanding condition caused by an unintentional single-line to ground fault occurs in an active distribution network with distributed generation, the frequency stability and protection issues remain challenging. Therefore, this paper presents the under frequency protection enhancement of the active distribution network using a virtual inertia-controlled-battery energy storage system to improve the frequency stability under the islanding condition caused by unintentional faults. The virtual inertia control is designed based on the direct and quadrature axis-controlled battery energy storage system to generate the virtual inertia power, compensating the system’s inertia to enhance the stability margin. The proposed method is verified by the simulation results that reveal the frequency stability performance and the under-frequency load shedding enhancement of the study active distribution network in Thailand. The study is divided into two cases: the normal control parameters and the parameter uncertainty scenarios, compared with a power-frequency droop control. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed virtual inertia control can effectively improve the frequency and transient stabilities in the islanding condition, diminishing the number of loads disconnected by the proposed under-frequency load shedding scheme.

Abstract This paper analyzes the influence of technology uncertainties on the sizing of battery systems. The sizing is based on the minimization of the costs incurred by the end customer and is performed considering demand response applications in the frame of time of use tariffs. The randomness of i) battery round trip efficiency, ii) life time duration, iii) unit costs related to battery capacity, power conversion system, operation and maintenance and replacement is taken into account in order to identify the most convenient solution from an economic and technical point of view. Based on the load requests of actual industrial and residential loads, numerical applications have been performed. The results provided useful information regarding the influence uncertainties have in the choice of a battery energy storage system.

A solar energy storage system based on metal hydrides was proposed in this paper. The numerical simulation of processes of energy storage and thermal release were carried out. The dynamic behavior of heat and mass transfer in the metal hydride energy system were reported. Some factors which influence the whole system performance were discussed. The paper also made an economic analysis of the system, the results proved that the large amounts of metal hydride materials and the configurations of metal hydrides energy storage system involve a critical situation from an economical point of view. Then further analysis, particularly regarding the performance optimization and new plant arrangement of the metal hydrides energy storage system, has to be developed in order to attain the economical feasibility of the proposal.

Most recent grid codes require wind turbines to contribute to the recovery of frequency drops in the grid. More of the recently build wind turbines use variable speed generators. Unlike fixed speed generators, these generators do not naturally contribute to the recovery of the frequency drop since the rotor rpm is decoupled from the grid frequency. This decoupling is achieved by controller and power conditioning units. The studies reviewed in this paper focused on the design of such a controller so that the wind turbine could react to frequency drops. Another approach to responding to frequency drops is to connect an energy storage system to the DC bus of variable speed generator. Flywheels have been used as energy storage systems to fill energy gaps in several applications and can be used for frequency recovery application for wind turbines as well. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the improvement of frequency stability of wind turbines connected to electrical grids in the presence of flywheel energy storage systems (FESS). Studies reviewed show that FESS can enhance the power quality and frequency stability of wind turbines connected to an electrical grid.

The number of connections with distributed generation has been growing steadily in Brazil, however, there is still a problem associated with it, the intermittence. Although a consumer with photovoltaic solar system (PVSS) is able to generate energy even when the grid is unavailable, the load is still susceptible to power outages given the intermittence of the source, one possible solution for this is the use of energy storage elements to supply part of the load, or even all of it when needed. In this study is analyzed, under the economic viability point of view, the impact of using a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) coupled with a PVSS to supply a residential consumer in the event of power outages.

Advanced exergy-based analyses provide the information for potential of improvement of energy- conversion systems from exergetic, economic and environmental point of view. These analyses are applied to Cryogenic-based Energy Storage (CES) also known as Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES). Advantages such as (a) lack of geographical restrictions, (b) low environmental impact and the fact that it is (c) based on mature technology, drive further the research on this energy storage system. An adiabatic LAES system charged with Heylandt liquefaction of air process is analysed. Parameters such as exergy destruction, investment cost, cost associated with the exergy destruction, as well as the environmental impact associated with the thermodynamic irreversibilities are split into avoidable/unavoidable and endogenous/exogenous parts. Aspen Plus® software was used to simulate the LAES system and Engineering Equation Solver was used to conduct the conventional and advanced exergy-based analyses. The dependence of the improvement of each component with the rest of the system was found and all components present higher exogenous exergy destruction than endogenous. The component with the highest potential for improvement is the main heat exchanger in the discharge unit. Focusing on improvement of the components that were found to be the most inefficient ones with the highest exergy destruction, CES is expected to become thermodynamically and economically feasible.
