“…Moreover, it is used in most control strategies, as shown in the previous section, so obtaining its value is crucial for the proper functioning of these controllers. As it is shown in (19), its value depends only in the concentration of vanadium species inside the electrolyte tanks. Unfortunately, there is no sensor which allows to automatically measure this magnitude.…”

“…Extracted from [15]. As for electric large-scale ESS, the most common is the superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system [19], which is based on the use of electro-magnetic energy, and the electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) which directly uses electric energy. The main advantage of SMES is its energy efficiency, about 90% [20].…”

An Efficient Reactive Power Dispatch Method for Hybrid Photovoltaic and Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Inverters in Utility Grids

The intermittent property and increased grid restrictions have become the most critical elements for increasing penetration levels of clean renewable energy sources (RESs). Smart inverters with combined RESs integration and reactive power support for utility grids have recently found widespread applications due to their techno-economic benefits. In smart inverters, the distribution-static compensator (DSTATCOM) functionality is inherently integrated to the RESs inverters. However, optimized reactive power-sharing between these inverters has become a big issue for the control systems of utility grids. There are numerous existing attempts presented in the literature for addressing these challenges, although they disadvantage low efficiency, uneven sharing, complex implementations, and/or costly added devices. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient reactive power dispatch method between hybrid renewable energy generation and energy storage systems. The proposed method enhances the energy efficiency of the utility grid by adopting the reactive power share between interfacing inverters according to the estimated power losses. Besides, the proposed method enhances the reliability of smart inverters by relieving their thermal stresses through adopting their reactive power share according to the estimated power losses. The hybrid photovoltaic (PV) generation with superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems is selected as a case study for validating the new proposed reactive power dispatch method. The results, comprehensive discussions, and performance comparisons have verified the superior performance of the new proposed reactive power dispatch method.

“…In this work, neither the minimization of tie-line power flow nor the reduction of line power losses was considered. The SMES device and its controllability to mitigate the stability of the utility power grid integrated with wind power generation were introduced in [20]. The connection of SMES at different locations was studied to suppress the power fluctuations and to improve the low voltage ride through.…”

In an active distribution grid, renewable energy sources (RESs) such as photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage systems (e. g., superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES)) can be combined with consumers to compose a microgrid (MG). The high penetration of PV causes high fluctuations of tie-line power flow and highly affects power system operations. This can lead to several technical problems such as voltage fluctuations and excessive power losses. In this paper, a fuzzy logic control based SMES method (FSM) and an optimized fuzzy logic control based SMES method (OFSM) are proposed for minimizing the tie-line power flow. Consequently, the fluctuations and transmission power losses are decreased. In FSM, SMES is used with a robust fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for controlling the tie-line power flow. An optimization model is employed in OFSM to simultaneously optimize the input parameters of the FLC and the reactive power of the voltage source converter (VSC) of SMES. The objective function of minimizing the tieline power flow is incorporated into the optimization model. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is utilized to solve the optimization problem while the constraints of the utility power grid, VSC, and SMES are considered. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed methods.
