Simulation analysis of energy storage component characteristics

Simulation analysis of energy storage component characteristics

This article discusses the structure, working principle, and control methods of grid-following and grid-forming energy-storage converters, which are currently commonly used. A simulation analysis was conducted to investigate their dynamic response characteristics.

6 FAQs about [Simulation analysis of energy storage component characteristics]

How can energy storage models be implemented?

It should be noted that by analogy with the BESS model, the SC, FC and SMES models can be implemented considering their charging and discharging characteristics. In addition, by applying a similar approach to the design of the energy storage model itself, they can be implemented in any other positive-sequence time domain simulation tools.

Why do we simplify energy storage mathematical models?

Simplification of energy storage mathematical models is common to reduce the order of the equivalent ECM circuits, or to completely idealize them both with and without taking into account the SOC dependence.

What is the average model of the energy storage unit (ESS)?

Average model of the ESS. In this model, the whole power converter interface of the energy storage unit is replaced by ideal voltage sources, which reproduce the averaged behavior of the VSC legs during the switching interval.

What are the disadvantages of simplification of mathematical models of energy storage?

Simplification of mathematical models directly of energy storage directly does not take into account transients associated with charge-discharge, internal losses, which is a significant disadvantage.

How do energy storage systems affect the dynamic properties of electric power systems?

With the development of electric power systems, especially with the predominance of renewable energy sources, the use of energy storage systems becomes relevant. As the capacity of the applied storage systems and the share of their use in electric power systems increase, they begin to have a significant impact on their dynamic properties.

How can ESS models be simplified?

Simplifications of ESS mathematical models are performed both for the energy storage itself and for the interface of energy storage with the grid, i.e. DC-DC and VSC converters, or simultaneously for the model of energy storage and its interface. Based on this, the following approaches to simplification of ESS models can be highlighted:
