An Energy-Based Control Strategy for Battery Energy Storage Systems: A Case Study on Microgrid Applications

Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) with proportional-integral (PI) control methods have been widely studied in microgrids (MGs). However, the performance of PI control methods might be unsatisfactory for BESSs due to the nonlinear characteristics of the system. To overcome this problem, an energy-based (EB) control method is applied to control the converter of a BESS in this study. The EB m...

Control of Cascaded DC-DC Converter-Based Hybrid Battery Energy Storage Systems - Part II: Lyapunov Approach

Electrical energy storage for the grid: a battery of choices.

The increasing interest in energy storage for the grid can be attributed to multiple factors, including the capital costs of managing peak demands, the investments needed for grid reliability, and the integration of renewable energy sources. Although existing energy storage is dominated by pumped hydroelectric, there is the recognition that battery systems can offer a number of high-value oppor...

Battery Storage for Supplementing Renewable Energy Systems

Battery energy storage can be integrated with renewable energy generation systems in either grid-connected or standalone applications. For stand-alone systems, batteries are essential to store electricity for use when the sun is not shining or when the wind is not blowing. For grid-connected systems, batteries add value to intermittent renewable resources by facilitating a better match between ...
