Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Global warming and climate change issues are being discussed extensively around the world, and the expanded use of natural energy and electric vehicles is being considered as a solution for saving energy and reducing CO₂. The application of rechargeable batteries is expected to reproduce the accumulation and highly efficient release of electrical energy. In particular, among the batteries that have been put to practical use so far, lithium-ion secondary batteries are compact and lightweight and are widely used as a source of electric energy supply for all kinds of electronic devices, but when viewed from the perspective of energy storage, they are still a harsh reality in terms of efficient energy storage and utilization compared to gasoline and forms of energy other than electricity. However, when viewed from the perspective of storing energy, it is still a harsh reality in terms of efficient energy storage and utilization compared to energy sources other than electricity, such as gasoline. Therefore, we would like to contribute to the construction of a system that contributes to the effective use of electric energy for the next generation from the viewpoint of the application of battery energy storage systems.

Abstract

This work discusses the use of a battery energy storage system applied to the smoothing of power generated at the output of wind turbines based on a fuzzy logic power control. The fuzzy control logic proposed can perform the aforementioned activity while the state of charge of the energy storage system is maintained within operational limits. In order to assess the fuzzy logic power control’s effectiveness at maintaining the state of charge levels within the allowed range, two operating situations are explored: one in which the state of charge is above the upper limit allowed, and another in which the state of charge is in the minimum value allowed. The numerical results show that, when using the battery energy storage system in conjunction with the control logic proposed, the active power provided as the point of common coupling by the wind turbines can be smoothed, thus contributing to the Electric Power System reliability and stability. The main results of this paper are based on measurements of wind and active power associated with a wind generation plant installed in the northeast region of Brazil and equipped with 2.1 MW wind turbines.

Abstract

The search for charging electric vehicles using renewable energy sources and ensuring the stability of the electrical system has been growing. This has led to the development of charging stations that integrate photovoltaic systems, energy storage systems in batteries, and charging stations. The storage system allows for applications that increase the reliability of the electrical network. The objective of this work is to study, based on real operational scenarios, the impacts, and criteria of energy quality of a charging solution containing a photovoltaic system, a storage system, and a charging station. In the solution, the batteries are lead-carbon type and photovoltaics have priority in energy supply, using excess generation to charge the batteries. In this aspect, the work presents relevant contributions to the study of energy quality. An improvement in energy quality is pointed out with the use of batteries, proving that even in the most diverse operating situations, such as partial shading of the photovoltaic modules, with 20% shading relative to the nominal power, charging is not impacted and reductions in distortions are achieved, with a 50% reduction in voltage imbalance, when the storage system is a voltage reference and reference to the microgrid.

Real-Time Economic Dispatch of CHP Systems with Battery Energy Storage for Behind-the-Meter Applications

by Marvin B. Sigalo, Saptarshi Das, Ajit C. Pillai and Mohammad Abusara

Abstract

The use of combined heat and power (CHP) systems has recently increased due to their high combined efficiency and low emissions. Using CHP systems in behind-the-meter applications, however, can introduce some challenges. Firstly, the CHP system must operate in load-following mode to prevent power export to the grid. Secondly, if the load drops below a predefined threshold, the engine will operate at a lower temperature and hence lower efficiency, as the fuel is only half-burnt, creating significant emissions. The aforementioned issues may be solved by combining CHP with a battery energy storage system (BESS); however, the dispatch of CHP and BESS must be optimised. Offline optimisation methods based on load prediction will not prevent power export to the grid due to prediction errors. Therefore, this paper proposes a real-time Energy Management System (EMS) using a combination of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks, Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP), and Receding Horizon (RH) control strategy. The RH control strategy is suggested to reduce the impact of prediction errors and enable real-time implementation of the EMS exploiting actual generation and demand data on the day. Simulation results show that the proposed method can prevent power export to the grid and reduce the operational cost by 8.75% compared to the offline method. Full article

Abstract

Substation (SS) auxiliary systems (SAux) are facilities responsible for hosting the alternating (AC) and direct current (DC) busbar to serve the equipment and systems that perform the substation’s protection, control, and supervision. External and internal power supplies typically ensure the continuity of such a facility. The electricity support will be restricted to diesel emergency generators (DG) if the external power supply is unavailable due to a contingency. The DG present a slower response time and are susceptible to starting failures. Microgrids with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) paired with photovoltaic systems (PV) are presented as an innovative and reliable solution for powering the SAux. In this article, tests were carried out on the microgrid of the Edson Mororó Moura Institute of Technology (ITEMM) in Brazil to support the use of microgrids BESS/PV in the SAux of a transmission SS of the São Francisco Hydroelectric Company (Chesf). Without an external power supply, BESS commands the action of islanded operation, maintaining both voltage and frequency requirements of the microgrid without load shedding. It was possible to observe all operations of the microgrid. The experimental results showed that the solution proposed in the paper implements a dependable self-dispatchable autonomous power supply.

Abstract

The increasing integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) and the growing demand for sustainable power solutions have necessitated the widespread deployment of energy storage systems. Among these systems, battery energy storage systems (BESSs) have emerged as a promising technology due to their flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the diffusion and deployment of BESSs across various applications, analyzing their impact on grid stability, renewable energy integration, and the overall energy transition. The paper examines the key drivers and challenges associated with BESS adoption, as well as market trends influencing their proliferation. Through an analysis of empirical data, this study aims to shed light on the current state of BESS diffusion. Finally, this research contributes to the knowledge base surrounding battery storage technology and provides insights into its role in achieving a sustainable and reliable energy future.
