The study concerning about the grid connection of the large-capacity battery energy storage system(BESS) is increasing. However, the protection study which is necessary to maintain the reliability of distribution system has been hardly performed. Therefore, this paper analyzes the effect of reclosing among protection issues in distribution system with BESS and proposes the new relcosing method. To verify the proposed method, the BESS, distribution system, and proposed method are modeled by using EMTP/ATPDraw and the various simulations according to the fault clearing time are performed. The simulation results show that the reclosing in distribution system with BESS is successfully performed by proposed method and the operation of BESS is not affected from reclosing.

As development of battery technologies, the installation of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) increased. The BESS can be used for various purposes such like frequency response, load leveling, and fluctuation mitigation of renewable energy generators. In this paper, three state BESS model is proposed. the BESS model considering charge, discharge and keeping efficiency, and life cycle according to depth of discharge (DOD). Then, the benefit and cost of BESS installed at substation for load leveling are summarized. The economic evaluation of BESS is analyzed using net present values (NPV) analysis. In case study, the NPV analysis of NaS battery system is carried out using the proposed BESS model. Because the result of economic evaluation of BESS using nowadays cost data is not positive, the sensitivity analysis of BESS is conducted by changing the capital cost and energy cost.

A controller design method for a battery-energy storage system using a linearized battery model is presented in this paper. The suggested linear battery model is expressed with open-circuit voltage having three relaxation filters and a linear output equation. A method to obtain on-line resistance and maximum available power is also presented. The battery state of charge information is obtained by Kalman filter, and its performance is verified by FTP75 driving cycles. The controller for power converter is designed and experimented with a 250 V battery pack. The proposed control method is simple and easy to apply to a real system.

This paper proposes a method for frequency control of islanded microgrid with battery energy storage system. For frequency control of islanded microgrid, battery energy storage system uses a phase locked loop algorithm with positive sequence components for a fast frequency estimation. Microgrid is a power system with small inertia because it has small capacity generators and inverter systems for renewable energy. So, Islanded microgrid's frequency varies fast and large as small generation and load changes. To reduce frequency variation of islanded microgrid, it needs a device with fast frequency response. For fast frequency response, a fast frequency tracking is important. To show the validation of proposed fast frequency tracking algorithm, battery energy storage system with proposed algorithm is tested in microgrid pilot plant.

A wireless tram which runs without catenary and instead uses batteries installed in the tram has been recently researched actively. This paper presents a new method maximizing absorption of regenerative energy of a wireless tram and extending life cycle of the energy storage device in the wireless tram by applying line-optimized charging and discharging scenario. Energy efficiency and life cycle of energy storage system (ESS) are highly dependent on the characteristic of operating conditions. For example, frequent charge and discharge with high power cause the problems that decrease the battery life cycles. Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) is combination of two ESSs which have complementary characteristics to each other. HESS can provide even better functionality and performance than the battery only ESS due to the synergy effect of two ESSs. This paper also provides a power distribution strategy and driving scenarios which increase the life cycle and energy efficiency of the HESS consisting of a battery and an ultra-capacitor. The developed strategy was tested and verified by a hardware-in-the-loop-simulation (HILS) system which emulates the a wireless tram.

Sodium sulfur (NAS) battery is a high energy storage system (ESS). These days, as the use of renewable green energy like wind energy, solar energy and ocean energy is rapidly increasing, the demand of ESS is increasing and NAS battery is considered to be one of the most promising ESS. Since NAS battery has a high energy density(3 times of lead acid battery), long cycle life and no self-charge and discharge, it is a good candidate for ESS. A NAS battery consists of sulfur as the positive electrode, sodium as the negative electrode and ${\beta}$"-alumina as the electrolyte and a separator simultaneously. Since sulfur is an insulator, carbon felt should be used as conductor with sulfur and so the composition and property of the cathode could largely influence the cell performance and life cycle. Therefore, in this paper, the composition of NAS battery, the property of carbon felt and sodium polysulfides ($Na_2S_x$, intermediates of discharge), and the effects of these factors on cycle performance of cells are described in detail.

The interest in renewable energy-based distributed power generation systems is increasing due to the recognitions of the breakthrough of existing centralized power generation, energy conversion, and environmental problems. In this study, the optimal capacity was selected by simulating a distributed power generation system based on PV and WT using lead acid batteries as the energy storage system. CHP was adopted as the existing power source, and the optimal capacity of the system was derived through MOGA according to the operating modes(full load/part load) of the existing power source. In addition, it was confirmed that the battery life differs when the battery charging method is changed at the same battery capacity. Therefore, for economical and stable power supply and demand, the capacity selection of the distributed generation system considering the battery charging method should be performed.

Application of demand-side resources to automatic generation control (AGC) has a great significance for improving the dynamic control performance of power system frequency regulation. This paper investigates the possibility of providing regulation services by demand-side energy storage in electric vehicle battery swapping stations (BSS). An interaction framework, namely station-to-grid (S2G), is presented to integrate BSS energy storage into power grid for giving benefits to frequency regulation. The BSS can be regarded as a lumped battery energy storage station through S2G framework. A supplementary AGC method using demand-side BSS energy storage is developed considering the vehicle user demand of battery swapping. The effects to the AGC performance are evaluated through simulations by using a two-area interconnected power grid model with step and random load disturbance. The results show that the demand-side BSS can significantly suppress the frequency deviation and tie-line power fluctuations.

The energy use is increasing as the quality of human life improves. and research on the efficient use of energy in ESS (Energy Storage System) is ongoing. An air conditioner is required for the efficient use of an ESS, as are data on the distribution of the temperature of the latter based on the capacity of the air conditioner. In the absence of an air conditioner, the battery of the ESS reaches its maximum temperature of 40℃ after 2 h. When an air conditioner is present, the temperature of the battery stabilizes as the capacity of the former increases.
