TECHNOLOGY AND USES FOR ENERGY STORAGE'S INCORPORATION INTO SMART GRIDS

Abstract

The fact that they are unpredictable and unreliable, renewable energy sources (RES) are increasingly crucial to the electrical power grid's ability to maintain energy continuity. The challenge of energy sustainability can only be solved by energy storage technology. Regarding a Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) powered by a 4-wire, 3-phase grid connected solar Photovoltaic (PV) power system, a novel Smart Energy Control Technique (SECT) with a Whale optimization algorithm is presented in this work. The sustainability of energy via solar PV power generating systems is achieved by using HESS, which consists of batteries and ultra-capacitor storage devices for energy. The suggested SECT has been used for the analysis and experimental testing of several HESS operating scenarios. During experimental testing, the load status of a single sunny day and the PV power outline were constructed and dynamically assessed by utilizing SECT; some test findings in eight distinct operating modes are included in this paper. The system uses 1320W of electricity to charge the battery group, and in one of its modes of operation, the leftover energy is sent to the grid using 5% present harmonics. And because of the system's high power density, quick reaction, and great efficiency, the HESS is a highly efficient energy storage method. Simulation findings and laboratory testing have validated the suggested system.
