Assessment of Battery Storage Technologies for a Turkish Power Network

Abstract

Population growth has brought an increase in energy demand and cost that has a meaningful impact on personal and government expenses. In this respect, governments attach importance to investments in renewable energy resources (RER), which are a sustainable and clean energy source. However, the unpredictable characteristics of RER are a major problem for these clean sources and RER need auxiliary assets. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are one of the promising solutions for these issues. Due to the high investment cost of BESS, governments act cautiously about accepting and implementing BESS in their power network. Recently, with the improvement of technology, the cost of BESS has been reduced, and therefore battery technologies have begun to be applied to conventional systems. In this study, first, we will review and discuss the current globally state-of-the-art BESS and their applications. Later, attention will be turned to a country-specific study for Turkey.

Energy Storage System Analysis Review for Optimal Unit Commitment

“…(a). Energy arbitrage: Buy energy (charge ESS) during the lower price and sell energy (discharge ESS) during the higher price [95][96][97]. (b).…”

Multi-Objective Sizing of Hybrid Energy Storage System for Large-Scale Photovoltaic Power Generation System

“…where E i,j,k is the generated energy of the ith energy storage device in the kth minute under the jth typical weather condition, kWh; η i is the conversion efficiency of the ith energy storage device, %; S i,j,k is the consumed energy of the ith energy storage device in the kth minute under the jth typical weather condition, kWh. P i, j,k ≤ Pr i (9) where P i,j,k is the output value of the ith energy storage device in the kth minute under the jth typical weather condition, kW; Pr i is the rated power of the ith energy storage device determined in Section 2.2.…”

“…In recent years, with the improvement of energy storage technology and cost reduction, equipping energy storage systems (ESS) for PV power generation system has become one of the economical and effective ways to smoothen PV output fluctuations and mitigate their impact [8,9]. ESS can suppress the unstable PV output through charging and discharging, and can also realize energy storage at different time scales [10].…”

On the Role of Regulatory Policy on the Business Case for Energy Storage in Both EU and UK Energy Systems: Barriers and Enablers

“…Amongst the different types of ES systems, battery energy storage system (BESS) is interesting because of its suitability to many applications in grid-connected electricity networks such as peak shaving [21], energy arbitrage [22], reserve capacity [23], and frequency regulation [24] amongst many others. Furthermore, battery materials are constantly improving over the years to account for degradation [25], and its capital cost is expected to decrease over the next years.…”
