A Comparison of Power Conversion Systems for Modular Battery-Based Energy Storage Systems

Abstract

A modular battery-based energy storage system is composed by several battery packs distributed among different modules or parts of a power conversion system (PCS). The design of such PCS can be diverse attending to different criteria such as reliability, efficiency, fault tolerance, compactness and flexibility. The present paper proposes a quantitative and qualitative comparison among the most widely proposed PCSs for modular battery-based energy storage systems in literature. The obtained results confirm the high performance of those PCSs based on the parallel connection of different modules to a single point of common coupling, also identifying those based on modular multilevel cascaded converters as promising concepts according to the assumptions of the present paper.

Second Life Management From Battery Storage System of Electric Waterborne Transport Applications: Perspectives and Solutions

“…For example, Tesla brought forward the Powerpack system, which gave a big boost to the concept of modularity in the use of battery packs [57]. The paper [58] suggests a qualitative comparison among different power converter systems for a general approach to a modular solution of a battery storage system connected to a grid. Another point of interest is the storage container layout that contains the battery pack and the power converter to obtain the module arrangement [59].…”

Optimal and automated decentralised converter control design in more electrical aircraft power electronics embedded grids

“…Advancement in modern power electronics have, for applications such as more electric aircraft, led to power electronics embedded grids becoming an integral part of the aircraft electrical systems, [1] as well as in renewable energy [2,3], and electrical storage systems to name a few [4,5]. With the increasing prevalence of embedded grids found in such systems, subsystem interactions, power quality, stability and global robustness are becoming increasingly studied topics of research [6,7].…”
