To enhance reliability of the electric grid while simultaneously incorporating renewable power sources into it, there is a pressing need for electrical energy storage, to increase the capability for dispatch and to accommodate the variable nature of those resources. There is, at present, very little energy storage on the grid, due in part to the high capital costs associated with electrochemica...

In this paper, we proposed, modelled, and then simulated a standalone photovoltaic system with storage composed of conventional batteries Supercapacitor was added to the unit in order create hybrid sources (batteries Supercapacitor), better relieve during peak power. And reduce stress on by avoiding deep discharges. This study includes, one hand, MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm in...

The high cost of Lithium-ion battery systems is one the biggest challenges hindering wide adoption electric vessels. For some marine applications, based on current monotype topologies are significantly oversized due to variable operational profiles and long lifespan requirements. This paper deals with hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for an harbor tug optimize size system. impact hybridizati...

During the last years, the development of electric propulsion systems is pushed strongly, most notably for automotive applications. For ground based transportation, the system mass is relevant, but of relatively low importance. This paper addresses the application of electric propulsion systems in aeronautics, where all systems are much more constrained by their mass. After comparing different ...
