Analysis And Simulation of Hybrid Electric Energy Storage (HEES) Systems for High Power Applications

Abstract

At recent years, using hybrid energy storage systems has become a global solution to supply continuous, reliable and clean energy to power electronic devices. By using these technologies, many advantages of energy storage systems can be combined properly and an adequate energy supply for specific applications is achievable. In today's world, there is a continuous global need for more energy which, at the same time, has to be cleaner than the energy produced from the traditional generation technologies. This need has facilitated the increasing penetration of distributed generation technologies and primarily of renewable energy sources. In addition, by maturating renewable energy sources and technologies around it, providing a significant part of the total energy generation, requiring fewer costs with cleaner characteristics for environment, has become possible. The extensive use of such energy sources in today's electricity networks can indisputably minimize the threat of global warming and climate change. There are many advantages in using renewable energy sources alongside with the energy generated by fossil fuels which is discussed in this article. This work also discusses different types of energy storage devices and studies the advantages and disadvantages of these devices. Then different types of renewable energy sources and their role in in hybrid energy systems will be analyzed and noted. Some energy storage systems are modeled and simulated. Required power electronic circuits in hybrid storage systems will be introduced. At the end, some practical examples of hybrid energy systems (such as Battery-Supercapacitor) are presented, modeled and simulated.

Security and Energy Consumption Considerations of Electric Vehicles Integration in Smart Grids

“…One method that has been utilized for charging EV batteries is the installation of stationary energy storage systems. Sometimes, this energy storage system comes with a renewable energy source or another energy storage device to increase the charging system's reliability (Sabzi, Asadi, and Moghbeli 2019;Sabzi, Asadi, and Moghbelli 2017;Sabzi, Asadi, and Moghbelli 2016;Moghbelli and Sabzi 2015). Figure 6 shows a simple diagram of such a system.…”

Review of Energy Storage Systems in Regenerative Braking Energy Recovery in DC Electrified Urban Railway Systems: Converter Topologies, Control Methods & Future Prospects

“…It is known that no any single ESS can provide the best characteristics required in a particular application, hence the reason for using HEESs technology. In HEESs, a combined high power and energy densities, high efficiency, long lifecycle of operations, fast response, and etc can be achieved altogether [138]. Different combinations of hybrid electrical energy storage systems can be achieved by using combinations of either Supercapacitor/Battery or Supercapacitor/Flywheel or Battery/Flywheelor Supercapacitor/Battery/Flywheel.…”

“…Different combinations of hybrid electrical energy storage systems can be achieved by using combinations of either Supercapacitor/Battery or Supercapacitor/Flywheel or Battery/Flywheelor Supercapacitor/Battery/Flywheel. However, the most common HEES in many applications is the hybrid of Supercapacitor/Battery [101], [138].…”

Investigation of Microgrid Hierarchical Control and Structure

“…Voltage regulators are responsible for adjusting voltage through the microgrid, and the reactive power regulators manage reactive powersharing concerning the impedance of the transmission line [22]. DC microgrids DC microgrid includes photovoltaic arrays, fuel cells, and energy storage systems (batteries and supercapacitors) [23][24][25]. The microgrid is connected to the grid at PCC via lowvoltage DC line, supplies DC loads directly, and AC loads using DC/AC converters [20][21][22].…”
