Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the penetration of renewable energy sources into the power grid. Most renewable energy sources have intermittent power generation, which can cause significant problems in power systems. Energy storage technologies can help to better integrate renewable energy sources into power systems, which will lead to a higher amount of energy produced from renewable energy sources. Battery storage systems are one such energy storage technology.

This Special Issue aims to collect research articles devoted to the design, operation, optimization, and application of battery storage systems providing for the better integration of renewable energy sources into power systems.

As the Guest Editors, we are pleased to invite you to submit your relevant research results that will be considered for publication in this Energies Special Issue on “Overview of Battery Energy Storage System Advancement for Renewable Energy Applications”.

The topics to be addressed in the Special Issue include (but are not limited to):

  • Battery storage technologies in power systems;
  • Modelling of battery storage systems;
  • Hybrid power systems with battery storage;
  • Vehicle to grid;
  • Power electronics for batteries;
  • Microgrids;
  • Lifecycle analysis of battery storage systems;
  • Influence of batteries on the environment;
  • Recycling of batteries.

This work studies a full-power, module-integrated back-to-back converter for battery energy storage applications. The proposed solution optimizes bank usage across a wide range of individual battery capacities. The converter design and control are examined, as well as the use of a loss reduction method when operating under a partial load. The suggested architectural work allows the bank to have a regulated voltage output, simulating a passive bank, while controlling the charge and discharge of individual batteries to their maximum capacities. Those capabilities are also evaluated using linear programming optimization, in order the quantify the advantage. The suggested system is used in a typical use-case examined experimentally. The energy provided by an experimental lead acid bank rose 38 times after a few charge/discharge cycles. Full article

The main purpose of this study was to develop a photovoltaic module array (PVMA) and an energy storage system (ESS) with charging and discharging control for batteries to apply in grid power supply regulation of high proportions of renewable energy. To control the flow of energy at the DC load and charge/discharge the battery uniformly, this work adapted a bidirectional buck–boost soft-switching converter and the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique of the photovoltaic module array. First, a boost converter is used with the perturb and observe (P&O) method, so that the photovoltaic module array can work at the maximum power point (MPP) at any time. When the output power of the photovoltaic module array is greater than the load power, the excess power is used to charge the battery; on the contrary, if the output power of the photovoltaic module array is lower than the load power, the battery discharges for auxiliary power supply. This makes the voltage of the DC link maintain a constant value. The monitoring circuit sends the voltage and current signals to the TMS320F2809 digital signal processor (DSP) produced by Texas Instruments to control the battery charging/discharging voltage and current. The photovoltaic module array works at the MPP to improve the performance of the overall energy storage system. Finally, the actual test result shows that the soft-switching converter used in this work, when compared to the hard-switching converter, can improve efficiency by nearly 4% when the load power is above 125 W. When the photovoltaic power generation system operation is between 150 W and 400 W, the proposed uniform charging and discharging architecture can rapidly reach uniformity. Full article
