With the rapid growth of renewable energy and the DC fast charge pile of the electric vehicle, their inherent volatility and randomness increase a power system’s unbalance of instantaneous power. The need for power grid frequency regulation is increasing. The energy storage system (ESS) can be used to assist the thermal power unit so that a better frequency regulation result is obtained without changing the original operating mode of the unit. In this paper, a set of different charging/discharging control strategies of the lithium titanate battery (LTO) is proposed, which are chosen according to the interval of the State of energy (SOE) to improve the utilization rate of the ESS. Finally, the cost-benefit model of the ESS participating in automatic generation control ancillary service is established. Case analysis proves that after a 1.75 MWh ESS is configured for a 600 MW thermal power unit, Kp and D is increased from 1.42 to 6.38 and 2857 to 6895 MW. The net daily income is increased from 20,284 yuan to 199,900 yuan with a repayment period of 93 days. The results show that the control strategies and the energy configuration method can improve the performance and economic return of the system.

Abstract Here we show theoretically that the design of a thermochemical energy storage system for fast response and high thermal power can be predicted in accord with the constructal law of design. In this fundamental configuration, the walls of the elemental cylinder are impregnated with salt, while humid air is blown through the tube. Cases with constant salt volume or constant fluid volume or both are considered. It is shown that the best design in each case meets the equipartition of imperfections principle. The predictions are confirmed by full numerical experiments, allowing to consider various shape ratios and study their impact on the overall performance.

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.

Generation Cost

The electrification of autonomous electrical networks is in most cases described by low quality of electricity available at very high production cost. Furthermore, autonomous electrical networks are subject to strict constraints posing serious limitations on the absorption of renewable energy sources (RES)-based electricity generation. To bypass these constraints and also to secure a more sustainable electricity supply status, the concept of combining photovoltaic (PV) power stations and energy storage systems comprises a promising solution for small scaled autonomous electrical networks, increasing the reliability of the local network as well. In this context, the present study is devoted in developing a complete methodology, able to define the size of an autonomous electricity generation system, based on the maximum available solar potential exploitation at minimum electricity generation cost. In addition special emphasis is given in order to select the most cost-efficient energy storage configuration available. According to the calculation results obtained, one may clearly state that an optimum sizing combination of a PV generator along with an appropriate energy storage system may significantly contribute on reducing the electricity generation cost in several island electrical systems, providing also abundant and high quality electricity without the environmental and macro-economic impacts of the oil-based thermal power stations.

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.

Solar energy storage using a closed loop thermochemical system based on the reversible dissociation of ammonia, has been investigated at the Australian National University for over two decades. Theoretical and system studies have indicated that large scale systems offer reasonable thermodynamic and economic performance. Experimental investigation has confirmed the technical viability of the concept. This investigation has looked at the effect of operating parameters on the thermal output achievable from the heat recovery process. Pressure, massflow and inlet gas composition were all found to have significant effects on the output achievable. Maximizing the thermal output via adjustment of reactor wall temperature profiles indicates that the average temperature of the reactor walls is more significant than the shape of the profile. This investigation has indicated the potential and provided the foundations for future exergo-economic optimizations of the system.
