How energy storage systems help power system decision makers?

The issues pertaining to system security, stability, output power fluctuations of renewable energy resources, reliability and energy transfer difficulties are the most critical ones. The energy storage systems (ESSs) are one of the available equipment that can help power system decision makers to solve these challenges.

Are energy storage systems a part of electric power systems?

The share of global electricity consumption is growing significantly. In this regard, the existing power systems are being developed and modernized, and new power generation technologies are being introduced. At the present time, energy storage systems (ESS) are becoming more and more widespread as part of electric power systems (EPS).

How to model energy storage?

One of the approaches in modeling ESSs is to reproduce them with an ideal voltage source Vdc and a detailed VSC ( Fig. 10 ). Fig. 10. Ideal DC link model of the ESS. In this model, the energy storage is reproduced by a DC voltage in accordance with the output characteristics of the particular energy storage unit.

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.

Are energy storage systems a key element of future energy systems?

At the present time, energy storage systems (ESS) are becoming more and more widespread as part of electric power systems (EPS). Extensive capabilities of ESS make them one of the key elements of future energy systems [1, 2].

Does energy storage complicate a modeling approach?

Energy storage complicates such a modeling approach. Improving the representation of the balance of the system can have major effects in capturing energy-storage costs and benefits. Given its physical characteristics and the range of services that it can provide, energy storage raises unique modeling challenges.
