This paper presents two MPC (Model Predictive Control) based charging and discharging algorithms of BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) for capacity firming of wind generation. To deal with the intermittency of the output of wind generation, a single BESS is employed. The proposed algorithms not only make the output of combined systems of wind generation and BESS track the predefined reference, but also keep the SoC (State of Charge) of BESS within its physical limitation. Since the proposed algorithms are both presented in simple if-then statements which are the optimal solutions of related optimization problems, they are both easy to implement in a real-time system. Finally, simulations of the two strategies are done using a realistic wind farm library and a BESS model. The results on both simulations show that the proposed algorithms effectively achieve capacity firming while fulfilling all physical constraints.

This paper deals with the operation of a flywheel energy storage UPS. The ups has good features such as long life-time, improved efficiency, no environment problems, reduced size and space, and low maintenance cost compared with the conventional UPS using battery. The operating principle of the UPS is analysed in each mode including charging, voltage compensation, discharging, and voltage unbalance compensation. Especially, the tracking characteristic of the disturbed phase of the source voltage after outage is analysed. The usefulness of the operation is proved through simulations.

An improved dual-path energy recovery circuit (ERC) using a current source and a voltage source for plasma display panel (PDP) is proposed. The proposed ERC uses the voltage source to charge a panel and the current source to discharge the panel. Thus, the proposed circuit can make the panel charge to $V_S$ and discharge to 0V, fully and it is possible to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) of all switches in H-bridge inverter and zero current switching (ZCS) of all switches in the ERC. Moreover, it has less conduction and switching loss in ERC devices by the dual energy recovery paths for charging and discharging the panel. Furthermore, it has features of canceling the gas discharge current, high performance and the low cost ERC components. The operation principle and features of the proposed ERC are presented in detail and verified with 42-inch SD PDP.

The SOC estimation method based on Kalman Filter(KF) requires the accurate battery model to express the electrical characteristics of the battery. However, the performance of KF SOC estimator can hardly be improved because of the nonlinear characteristic of the battery. This paper proposes the new KF SOC estimator of Lithium-Polymer Battery(LiPB), which considers the variation of parameters based on the hysteresis effect, the magnitude of SOC, the charging/discharging mode and the on/off load conditions. The proposed SOC estimation method is verified with the PSIM simulation combined the experimental data of the LiPB.

In this paper, a three-port bidirectional modular circuit applied in charging and discharging equalization for lithium-ion battery strings is proposed. This circuit consists of four MOSFETs and one transformer which provide a simple structure to be easily modularized. Compared to conventional individual cell equalization schemes, it utilizes the transformer as the energy transfer element, allowing direct transfer of energy between arbitrary two cells of three-cell battery module, thus improving the equalization efficiency significantly by using much less number of equalizers for long battery strings. Simulation results are presented to validate the circuit operation and confirm its capability to equalize the three-cell battery module.

Optimal control algorithms for the full storage ice cooling system were developed by using a dynamic simulation program. Control algorithms for the storage charging mode were developed for the chiller outlet temperature setpoint control and the chiller capacity control. Control algorithms for the storage discharging mode were developed for the proper mode selection, the storage-only mode control, and the storage-priority chiller-shared mode control. Two different cases of the expected outdoor air temperature profile and the expected cooling load profile were used to analyze the effectiveness of these algorithms. Simulation results show the energy savings and the satisfactory controls of the ice storage system. Therefore, control algorithms developed for this study may effectively be used for the improved control of the ice storage cooling system.
