Integration of STATCOM with energy storage devices plays an imperative role in improving the power system operation and control. Significant research has been done in this area for practical realization of benefits of the integration. This paper, however, pays particular importance to the performance improvement for the transients as is achievable by STATCOM with battery-powered storage systems. Application of STATCOM with storage in regard to intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind power generation is also discussed in the paper. At the beginning of this paper, an overall review of the STATCOM and energy storage systems are elaborated. A brief overview of the advantages of using STATCOM in conjunction to energy storage systems in achieving power system stability is presented. In the second part of the paper, a typical transient stability model of a STATCOM is presented. The dynamics of real and reactive power responses of the integrated system to transients is studied. The study is aimed at showing that the combination of STATCOM and battery energy storage significantly improves the performance of the system. The final results show that the STATCOM reactive power/voltage control helps in transient stability enhancement.

Maintaining transient stability is crucial in power system operation. Transient stability is mainly affected by the generation amount of the study region, as well as the transmission topology. Several countermeasures can be taken for transient stability, but the usually used control means are generating unit tripping and generation curtailment. In terms of economic operation, one can say that the solution of generating unit tripping is more beneficial. To maintain the transient stability of the east coast region in the Korean power system, applying generation curtailment in the normal state is further needed, because the required tripping amount is too large for the case of only taking generator tripping, and this might cause a critical decrease in system frequency, possibly resulting in operation of the first stage of under frequency relay (UFR). This paper presents the application of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) to relieve the generation curtailment, using the characteristic of fast response of BESS. Assuming that BESSs are installed in the candidate location in the study region, the adequate BESS action of absorbing the kinetic energy from those critical generators after disturbances can improve transient stability, and it can decrease the amount of generation curtailment. This paper includes the results of simulation studies to show the effectiveness of the BESS control for the relief of generation curtailment.

Sources such as solar and wind energy are intermittent, and this is seen as a barrier to their wide utilization. The increasing grid integration of intermittent renewable energy sources generation significantly changes the scenario of distribution grid operations. Such operational challenges are minimized by the incorporation of the energy storage system, which plays an important role in improving the stability and the reliability of the grid. This study provides the review of the state-of-the-art in the literature on the economic analysis of battery energy storage systems. The paper makes evident the growing interest of batteries as energy storage systems to improve techno-economic viability of renewable energy systems; provides a comprehensive overview of key methodological possibilities for researchers interested in economic analysis of battery energy storage systems; indicates the need to use adequate economic indicators for investment decisions; and identifies key research topics of the analyzed literature: (i) photovoltaic systems with battery energy storage systems for residential areas, (ii) comparison between energy storage technologies, (iii) power quality improvement. The last key contribution is the proposed research agenda.

The stringent emission rules set by international maritime organisation and European Directives force ships and harbours to constrain their environmental pollution within certain targets and enable them to employ renewable energy sources. To this end, harbour grids are shifting towards renewable energy sources to cope with the growing demand for an onshore power supply and battery-charging stations for modern ships. However, it is necessary to accurately size and locate battery energy storage systems for any operational harbour grid to compensate the fluctuating power supply from renewable energy sources as well as meet the predicted maximum load demand without expanding the power capacities of transmission lines. In this paper, the equivalent circuit battery model of nickel–cobalt–manganese-oxide chemistry has been utilised for the sizing of a lithium-ion battery energy storage system, considering all the parameters affecting its performance. A battery cell model has been developed in the Matlab/Simulink platform, and subsequently an algorithm has been developed for the design of an appropriate size of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems. The developed algorithm has been applied by considering real data of a harbour grid in the Åland Islands, and the simulation results validate that the sizes and locations of battery energy storage systems are accurate enough for the harbour grid in the Åland Islands to meet the predicted maximum load demand of multiple new electric ferry charging stations for the years 2022 and 2030. Moreover, integrating battery energy storage systems with renewables helps to increase the reliability and defer capital cost investments of upgrading the ratings of transmission lines and other electrical equipment in the Åland Islands grid.

The introduction of battery energy storage systems and the subsequent transfer of electricity is a very important task, which is solved in different countries in different ways, based on the types of products that can be provided by battery energy storage systems. The analysis of the structure of generating capacities in the United Electric Power System of Ukraine shows a significant deficit of shunting capacities, among which today there is thermal generation, which has a significant level of wear of the main generating equipment and hydroelectric power plants. Based on the above, it would be logical to assume that with the launch of a new model of the electricity market; market segments will be formed in which price signals will be attractive for investment in new shunting capacity. However, the formation of such signals is limited by the establishment of upper price indices on the additional service market and market day ahead. Thus, to simulate the operation of battery energy storage systems, the additional service market was chosen in which the system operator purchases services from additional service providers. Modeling the operation of battery energy storage systems for the provision of additional services is a multi-criteria task that takes into account both the technical features of the battery energy storage systems and the relevant price indices that have been formed for each type of service. The paper considers the possibility of providing services from the automatic reserve of frequency recovery and the provision of balancing services. Based on statistical data on the additional service market of the integrated power system of Ukraine, developed a mathematical model to assess the effect of the use of battery energy storage systems to provide services for primary, secondary and tertiary frequency control. The relationship between the price indices of additional service market and technical and economic characteristics of the battery energy storage system are determined. The target function is offered in the mathematical model of operation of the battery energy storage systems, which takes into account the reduced costs for the accumulation of a unit of electricity, maintenance costs and income from the provision of services on the additional service market.

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the effect of the converter synchronizing methods on the contribution that Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) can provide for the support of the inertial response of a power system. Solutions based on phase-locked loop (PLL) synchronization and virtual synchronous machine (VSM) synchronization without PLL are described and then compared by using time-domain simulations for an isolated microgrid (MG) case study. The simulation results showed that inertial response can be provided both with and without the use of a PLL. However, the behavior in the first moments of the inertia response differed. For the PLL-based solutions, the transient response was dominated by the low-level current controllers, which imposed fast under-damped oscillations, while the VSM systems presented a slower response resulting in a higher amount of energy exchanged and therefore a greater contribution to the support of the system inertial response. Moreover, it was demonstrated that PLL-based solutions with and without derivative components presented similar behavior, which significantly simplified the implementation of the PLL-based inertia emulation solutions. Finally, results showed that the contribution of the BESS using VSM solutions was limited by the effect of the VSM-emulated inertia parameters on the system stability, which reduced the emulated inertia margin compared to the PLL-based solutions.
