Growing consciousness of the threat posed by man-made climate change has spurred government institutions, industry, and science to find clean fuels to power economic activity. Fuel cells powered by hydrogen are one of the steps in gaining clean energy. To improve the efficiency of the fuel cell, the hybrid solutions are required. This article shows a new approach to the design and control of a hybrid energy storage system for portable applications. The methodology allows us to optimize the desired physical parameters of the elements (weight or size) in order to withstand the connected load power demand. Such an approach allows us to minimize weight, which is essential in portable systems. The methodology was proven by building a technology demonstrator. The measurements of physical objects verified the electrical parameters received during simulation and allowed a lower weight of the system, compared to the system based only on Li-ion batteries.

Wind energy is now widely used in many countries as a clean energy. In order to make better use of wind energy, we need to study various factors affecting the utilization of wind energy. If we can better predict the wind, we can make full use of wind energy. Where, combing an energy storage system with a wind farm is an effective way to mitigate fluctuations and improve the predictability of wind power. Energy storage sizing has been an important part in wind farm planning. This paper presents an optimization model for determining the capacity of a lead-acid battery integrated with a wind farm. The energy storage capacity calculated in the model gives the lowest cost and has a significant impact on remedying the prediction error. Besides, the charge and discharge operation can also be displayed in our model.

The multi-power grid generation system will be the main technology in the future use of energy. It can provide high quality uninterruptible power supply for users through the grid-connected system of photovoltaic system, wind power, batteries, and gas-fired power and other clean energy source. Due to the instability of energy source system and the special conditions of the energy storage system, an important factor of affecting the multi-power grid generation system is the energy storage system. So, this paper aims to design an optimized battery management system (BMS). It not only can take advantage of solar, wind, gas and other clean energy source but also have an efficient management and maintenance system to batteries, which can reduce the costs of battery maintenance, and improve the battery packs' efficiency. This design has outstanding advantages over low-medium power applications.

With the development of clean energy, lithium battery is paid more and more attention because of its outstanding energy storage characteristics .So the novel bi-directional lithium battery charger topology is presented in this paper and operating theory is analyzed clearly. It can make the energy bi-directional flow between the power grid and battery as needed. And it can also fully adapt to the lithium battery charging and discharging characteristics. Based on phase shifting control, the output voltage ripple and the inductor current ripple can be reduced in the condition of the same input and output, and the DC bus voltage can also be improved. This bi-directional lithium battery charger topology can be widely used in battery energy storage system.

This paper addresses to integrate an optimal Proportional-Integrator-Derivative controller for frequency regulation in an isolated microgrid power system based renewable generation. This autonomous microgrid system is composed of Distributed Energy Sources like wind, solar, Diesel Engine Generator, Fuel Cells system, and two different storage devices such as Battery Energy Storage System and Flywheel Energy Storage System. Optimal tuning of the investigated controller is considered as the main problem to be resolved using the Krill Herd algorithm through an objective function. The obtained results are also accomplished with and without the battery energy storage system. The comparison of system performance shows that the proposed control scheme based Krill Herd Algorithm is better than the Genetic Algorithm in the improvement of system performance.

In traditional industrial systems, a liquid expander can be used as a substitute for a throttling valve to improve system efficiency and economy. In this paper, the research and development of liquid expanders was reviewed. A set of experimental procedures were presented and an experimental test rig was built to examine the performance of a liquid turbine, which is a model machine of the liquid expander used in the supercritical compressed air energy storage system. At the rated condition, the flow rate of the liquid turbine is 60.7 kg/s, the differential pressure is 0.662 MPa, the output power is 30.44 kW, and the efficiency is 75.16%. The experimental results indicate successful construction of the test rig, which fully demonstrates the advantages of a semi-open and semi-closed system. The experimental results of the liquid turbine are of practical value for verification and development of the liquid expander in supercritical compressed air energy storage system.
