This paper presents the analysis of connected operation of photo voltaic source and Li energy storage system. The micro-grid has been installed and operated for several years at the campus of USF and has been a role of test bed. Photo voltaic source has been strongly influenced by the location, weather and climate of a installed area and Li battery is connected directly to the photo voltaic source to compensate for the limitations. The Li battery is operated to supply power output to the grid by the charging or discharging mode based on the average power output of the PV source which is calculated from monitored data for several years. The load of the PV and Li battery system is operated as a severe loading condition and the operating characteristics of PV source and Li battery are analyzed in detail. In connected operations of PV and Li battery to power system, the PV and Li battery is operated to supply constant power during only day time or peak time to increase load shedding ratio and efficient usage of generation sources in power system.

Control strategy and corresponding parameters have significant impacts on the overall technical and economic characteristics of composite energy storage systems (CESS). A better control strategy and optimized control parameters can be used to improve the economic and technical characteristics of CESS, and determine the maximum power and stored energy capacity of CESS. A novel coordinated control strategy is proposed considering the coordination of various energy storage systems in CESS. To describe the degree of coordination, a new index, i.e. state of charge coordinated response margin of supercapacitor energy storage system, is presented. Based on the proposed control strategy and index, an optimization model was formulated to minimize the total equivalent cost in a given period for two purposes. The one is to obtain optimal control parameters of an existing CESS, and the other is to obtain the integrated optimal results of control parameters, maximum power and stored energy capacity for CESS in a given period. Case studies indicate that the developed index, control strategy and optimization model can be extensively applied to optimize the economic and technical characteristics of CESS. In addition, impacts of control parameters are discussed in detail.

High-power lithium batteries are suitable for equipment with high power output needs, such as for ESS's initial start-up. However, their management cost is increased by the installation of air-conditioning to minimize the risk of explosion due to internal temperature rise and also by a restriction on the number of charge/discharge cycles. High-capacity flow batteries, on the other hand, have many advantages. They can be used for over 20 years due to their low management costs, resulting from no risk of explosion and a high number of charge/discharge cycles. In this paper, we propose an ESS based on hybrid batteries that uses a lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO) at the initial startup and a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) from the end of the transient period, with a bi-directional PCS to operate two batteries with different DC voltage levels and using an efficient energy management control algorithm.

ESS는 각 제품의 품질 및 안전성이 보장되더라도 현장에서 조립하는 사람 혹은 환경에 따라 완성 품질이 달라지므로, 설치공정의 표준화 및 현장에 설치된 ESS에 대한 안전성 시험평가기술의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 또한, 선진국에서는 ESS의 성능을 보다 정확하고 신뢰성 있게 검증하기 위하여, H/W에 의한 성능 시험뿐만 아니라 S/W에 의한 성능검증도 요구하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 현장에 설치되어 있는 ESS의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 SAT(Site Acceptance Test)용 평가알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한, 전력계통 상용해석 프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 ESS의 SAT용 시험장치를 모델링 하고, 이를 바탕으로 30[kW]급 시험장치를 구현하였다. 상기에서 제안한 평가알고리즘을 이용하여 다양한 시뮬레이션과 특성시험을 비교한 결과, 용량 및 Round-trip 효율, Duty-cycle 추종특성, LVRT 특성, Anti-islanding특성에 대한 ESS의 성능을 정확하게 평가할 수 있었고, 모델링에 의한 특성과 시험장치에 의한 특성이 거의 동일하게 나타나, 본 논문에서 제안한 평가알고리즘의 유용성을 확인하였다.
