The combination of a prime mover and an energy storage device for reduction of fuel consumption has successfully been used in the automotive industry. In the shipping industry, the potential use of a hybrid battery-diesel-electric propulsion system is investigated. The scope of this study is to suggest that in existing newly built vessels and in modern designs, such a combination can be achieved without significantly affecting the principal dimensions of the ship and the cargo capacity. This work considers structural arrangements of a bulk carrier fleet of all vessel types. Complete calculation of free, void and machinery spaces is performed. The energy requirements of each vessel size and the derived energy storage system are used to inform the installation and construction scenarios. Meanwhile, trim constraints are investigated and discussed. Installation and retrofitting issues affecting the housing compartments of the proposed system are investigated for the current ship designs. Results indicate that such an installation will fit in modern bulk carriers and that proper allocation of the weight may be used to improve the trim. Cargo capacity is affected by less than 1.0% and is dependent on the battery weight, the type of diesel generators and electric motor technology deployed.

To solve the problem of severe DC bus voltage fluctuations caused by frequent changes in the distributed electric propulsion aircraft load, and to further optimize the size and life of the hybrid energy storage system (HESS), this paper proposes a method based on three-step power distribution (TSPD). This strategy realizes the reasonable distribution of battery and supercapacitor power by using a low pass filter. Through the introduction of a supercapacitor state-of-charge (SOC) automatic recovery control and maximum power value dynamic limit strategy, the size of the HESS is optimized, and the service life of the energy storage device is extended. Finally, simulation and experiment platform are built to prove the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

In order to meet the load demand of power system, BP based on genetic algorithm is applied to the typical daily load forecasting in summer. The demand change of summer load is analysed. Simulation results show the accuracy of the algorithm. In terms of power supply, the reserves of fossil energy are drying up. According to the prediction of authoritative organizations, the world's coal can be mined for 216 years. As a renewable energy, wind power has no carbon emissions compared with traditional fossil energy. At present, it is generally believed that wind energy and solar energy are green power in the full sense, and they are inexhaustible clean power. The model of wind power solar hydrogen hybrid energy system is established. The control strategy of battery power compensation for delayed power of hydrogen production is adopted, and different operation modes are divided. The simulation results show that the system considering the control strategy can well meet the load demand. Battery energy storage system is difficult to respond to short-term peak power fluctuations. Super capacitor is used to suppress it. This paper studies the battery supercapacitor complementary energy storage system and its control strategy. When the line impedance of each generation unit in power grid is not equal, its output reactive power will be affected by the line impedance and distributed unevenly. A droop coefficient selection method of reactive power sharing is proposed. Energy storage device is needed to balance power and maintain DC voltage stability in the DC side of microgrid. Therefore, a new droop control strategy is proposed. By detecting the DC voltage, dynamically translating the droop characteristic curve, adjusting the output power, maintaining the DC voltage in a reasonable range, reducing the capacity of the DC side energy storage device. Photovoltaic grid connected inverter chooses the new droop control strategy.

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.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is recognized as a preferable alternative fuel for ship owners, since it can substantially reduce harmful emissions to comply with stricter environmental regulations. The increasing number of LNG-fueled vessels has driven up the number of LNG bunkering vessels (LNGBVs) as well. A key issue of LNGBVs is boil-off gas (BOG) generation, especially the huge amount of BOG that is generated during loading and unloading (bunkering) processes. This study proposes a hybrid system that combines conventional onboard LNG-fueled generators with an energy storage system (ESS) to solve the BOG issue of LNGBVs. This hybrid system is targeted at an LNGBV with the cargo capacity of 5000 m3. The amount of BOG generation is calculated based on assumed operation modes, and the economic study and the environmental analysis are performed based on the results. By comparing the conventional system to the proposed ones, some benefits can be verified: about 46.2% BOG reduction, 66.0% fuel saving, a 7.6-year payback period, and 4.8 tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction for one voyage in the best case, with some assumptions. This proposed hybrid system using the ESS could be an attractive green solution to LNGBV owners.


The Nanogrid utilizes renewable energy sources, e.g. Solar PV, Wind, etc; which are stochastic in nature. Due to this nature, power reliability is the main issue. To increase the reliability of the power supply and proper utilization of the available resources, Nanogrid should either connected to the utility grid directly or it must have the proper energy storage system. Energy storage system fills the gap between consumers demand and renewable power generation; which is very important issue in technical and economical consideration. The Nanogrid gives new hope of ray to the people living in off grid areas. By using energy storage system we can increase their living standard and enhance socio-economical development. This paper proposes the selection of the proper energy storage device and its calculation, control strategy also suggested for protecting storage device from over voltage and deep discharge.

Abstract Servo press is a manufacturing machine that usually works under impact loads. Flywheel battery is an energy storage device that has been widely studied in recent years. In this paper, a flywheel battery system for servo press energy compensation was put forward. In considering the efficiency and structure robustness, the flux switching permanent magnet (FSPM) motor is appropriate for flywheel battery as energy conversion device. In this study, the flywheel battery structure and working principle were first described. Then the motor characters were analyzed by FEM. After that, a simply initiative power control strategy was introduced for the flywheel battery. Finally, the prototype of flywheel battery with FSPM motor was made and connected to a servo press’s motor driver. The experiments were taken with and without the flywheel battery respectively. The experiment results proved that the flywheel battery could compensate a certain of DC link voltage loss during the press stamping process. That makes the servo press’s driven motor has a more stable power source and reduces the electrical shock to other equipment. In conclusion, the flywheel battery with FSPM motor is an effective energy storage system for servo press. It is believed that with the miniaturization and simplification of flywheel battery, the flywheel battery will be more general in impact load devices.

To harness the energy contained in such unconventional sources as winds, tides, and sunlight, a power system must incorporate an energy storage device to act as a buffer between the source and the load. Since the size of the energy storage device depends upon the relative timing of the availability of energy and the load demand, a system simulation is a logical approach to the study and design of power systems using these unconventional en ergy sources. GPSS is presented as an excellent simula tion vehicle. The physical properties to be simulated are discussed and the resulting GPSS programs are presented. Some proposed applications for these power systems are presented.

The possibility of realizing full electric or hybrid electric propulsion for aircraft has been considered due to the constant growth in the use of electric technologies in aircraft and the availability of high-power-density electrical machines and converters. In this paper, an optimized design approach is proposed with reference to the optimal trade-off between energy storage system sizing and the fuel mass of a series of hybrid aircraft. The problem is approached using an integer optimization algorithm based on differential evolution and by mixing both the flight mechanics and the electrical issues inherent to hybrid flights. This method has been validated by means of implementing numerical simulations and the results are reported and discussed in the paper.
