The new concept of integrating electric springs (ESs) and multi-port transformers (MTPs) as an active solution for energy management in alternating current (AC) microgrids is proposed. With an ES located at the port where storage devices previously were, the so-called critical flux is regulated to a constant value within the core of the transformer. The voltage on each winding is then clamped s...

The application of Photovoltaic (PV) system in buildings is growing rapidly response to the need for clean energy sources and building decarbonization targets. Nonetheless, enhancing PV self-consumption through technical solutions such as Energy Storage Systems (ESS) getting higher importance increase profitability plants, by minimizing building-grid interaction. In this context, analyzing diff...

The recent penetration of renewable sources in the energy system caused a transformation of the needs of the distribution system and amplified the need of energy storage systems to properly balance the electricity grid. Among electrochemical energy storage devices, all vanadium flow batteries are those of the most promising technologies due to their high efficiency, long lifetime, reliability a...

This paper presents sizing, energy management strategy, and cost analysis for a configuration consisting of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, fuel cell (FC) storage system, and reverse osmosis (RO) desalination technology for combined power and fresh water production. In this system, PV is the main power supply source; fuel cell is a storage system accompanied by Hydrogen production and storage d...

In recent years, climate change and nationally determined contribution (NDC) policies worldwide have accelerated the transition from fossil energy sources to renewable energy. Consequently, storage system (ESS) sector has emerged as an area of increasing importance in this industry. particular, compressed air (CAES), which a long history commercialization, is reappraised competitive ESS technol...

The increased need for renewable energy systems to generate power, store energy, and connect storage devices with applications has become a major challenge. Energy using batteries is most appropriate sources like solar, wind, etc. A non-isolated three-port DC–DC-converter conversion unit implemented feeding the brushless DCmotor drive. In this paper, converter designed simulated battery storage...

Utility and customer-side disturbances result in bus voltage fluctuations, transients, and waveform distortions on the distribution system. Just as flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) permit to improve the reliability and quality of transmission systems, these controllers can be used in the distribution level with comparable benefits for bringing solutions to a wide range of problems. In t...
