Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) has been featured as a technological advancement that harnesses the functional advantages of two or more different types of existing energy storage devices and provides excellent power and energy capabilities, enabling the desired performance of the energy storage system. As the penetration level of variable generation grows, it is envisioned that HESS would find use in more practical and valuable flexibility services.

This Special Issue of Energies aims to compile recent research and development efforts towards maximizing the technical and economic benefits of HESS for grid operations. The scope includes the design and implementation of system topology (or interfaces), optimal and coordinated control and operational strategies for various grid applications, and storage internal states such as SOC and SOH. We seek innovative technologies and practical experiences from both academia and industry regarding both small-scale (microgrid) and large-scale (utility scale) applications of HESS. In addition to these topics, we welcome papers dealing with related issues that fit the scope and objectives of this Special Issue.

The topics of interest in this Special Issue on hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) include (but are not restricted to):

  • Design aspects of HESS: Technical and economic benefits of HESS configuration and its (multi-)functionalities;
  • Coordinated control and operation strategies for HESS in providing the various flexibility services for integrating the variable renewable generation and improving the grid dynamics;
  • HESS management for reliable operation and strategies for expanding the lifespan of HESS;
  • Practical applications and industry experiences through HESS

This paper proposes an operation methodology for interfacing synchronous generator and energy storage system (ESS) by replacing conventional governor. This research introduces energy management scheme with droop control method for frequency regulation in coordination with synchronous generator. For frequency regulation, generator can take advantage of the ESS instead of the governor, with its relatively fast characteristics, leading to less frequent deviation of synchronous generator. For the verification, we simulate a network reduction model from real Korean network data, based on the case studies using PSCAD/EMTDC software. Full article

The paper proposes a coordinated operation method of two independent storages for managing state-of-charge (SOC) and for providing ancillary service concerning frequency regulation (FR); furthermore, this article also introduces the power allocation scheme between two storages in consideration of the coverage of the frequency band for each storage along with the SOC management scheme of the supercapacitor and battery. We also provide a guideline for the storage sizing on the basis of the smoothing time constant. Additionally, we verify the advantage of the HESS in extending the lifetime of the battery, which is estimated by a real-time state-of-health (SOH) calculation method. The Bode plot of the proposed method is analyzed to observe the power spectrum coverage in the frequency domain through the case studies using PSCAD/EMTDC and MATLAB. Full article

The aim of this work is to analyze and stabilize the power system when connecting an energy storage system (ESS) to replace the traditional power reserve of a power plant. Thus, it is necessary to validate and simulate the power facility protection system using a relay coordination approach. The input feasibility of the generator for the frequency regulation (FR) of the operational ESS is also validated through detailed analysis studies including power flow, short circuit and relay coordination analysis. The case scenarios for ESS installation are categorized based on its operation mode and location in the power system. These studies are carried out on the power system at the peak load condition specified for both grids. With the electrical transient analyzer program (ETAP), an analysis is performed to study the implementation of the ESS in a large, integrated power system to determine which location best fits the installation of ESS considering the load flow, short circuit and relay coordination results in each case scenario. Cost evaluation was performed for the choice of locations under study. Full article
