One of the key elements towards a decentralised energy sector is the consumers' choice and participation, as the concept of energy prosumer is gaining more and more ground and energy community projects are spouting across UK. In order for the upcoming energy systems to deliver their potential financial benefits, holistic design needs to be assessed by quantifying the most relevant design aspects (size...
In a microgrid, due to potential reverse power profiles between the renewable energy source (RES) and the loads, energy storage devices are employed to achieve high self-consumption of RES and to minimize power surplus flowing back into the main grid. This paper proposes a variable charging/discharging threshold method to manage the energy storage system. In addition, an adaptive intelligence technique...
Since 2011, in the context of sustainable development, UK government has been encouraging individuals to work as groups, and now, more than 5,000 community led projects are sprouted across the country, since more than 50% of the UK citizens had expressed their interest to get involved with energy communities if they can potentially reduce their electricity cost. The aim of this study is to quantify...
The Performance of battery packs is highly affected by imbalances between the series connected cells that provide the required string voltage. A modular battery implementation based on cascaded converters can have advantages over traditional centralized battery systems with add-ons active/passive balancing techniques. This paper investigates the use of a modular battery integrated within a cascaded...
The increase in penetration of renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, and high peak load demand can cause grid network security issues. The incorporation of demand side management and energy storage devices can provide a solution to these problems. This paper presents a proposed adaptive power flow control (APFC) strategy which reduces peak grid demand, increases self-consumption of renewable...
The increase in penetration of renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, and high peak load demand can cause grid network security issues. The incorporation of demand side management and energy storage devices can provide a solution to these problems. This paper presents a community power flow control (PFC) strategy which reduces peak grid demand, and increases self-consumption of renewable...
Energy storage systems (ESS) are seen as an increasingly important technology for managing electrical distribution systems, and there is now much research into both the underlying technologies of these systems, and their “optimum” management especially for applications within a single household. Optimum management usually depends on many factors and assumptions, for example what should be optimized...
This paper proposes a new energy loss observer for batteries that has a good accuracy and low complexity. This observer can provide a support for battery management systems (BMS) in terms of predicting battery energy loss and/or battery internal temperature for given load profiles, and this enhances BMS capabilities for predictive and corrective actions. The typical observer requires an accurate battery...
In this work, a Fault Ride-Through control scheme for a non-isolated power topology for Hybrid Energy Storage Systems in a DC microgrid is presented. The Hybrid System is created from a Lithium-Ion Battery and a Supercapacitor Module coordinated to achieve a high-energy and high-power storage system; it is connected to a DC link to interface to the outer system. The power topology under consideration...
One of the solutions to tackle the problems of high peak demand and grid instability due to high photovoltaic (PV) power penetration is to deploy a battery storage system. This paper presents a real-time battery management algorithm (BMA) for peak demand shaving in small energy communities with grid-connected PV systems. The BMA aims to control the charge/discharge of the community battery storage...
Electrification of heat and transport in addition to integration of intermittent renewable resources into the existing electricity network is expected to occur in near future. Such a transformation is expected to force the operation of the electricity power system at different levels to its limits. A novel bottom up modelling approach for quantifying temporal variation of electric vehicle charging...
