This study is focused on two areas: the design of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for a grid-connected DC Microgrid and the power management of that microgrid. The power management is performed by a Microgrid Central Controller (MGCC). A Microgrid operator provides daily information to the MGCC about the photovoltaic generation profile, the load demand profile, and the real-time prices of the electricity in order to plan the power interchange between the BESS and the main grid, establishing the desired state of charge (SOC) of the batteries at any time. The main goals of the power management strategy under study are to minimize the cost of the electricity that is imported from the grid and to maximize battery life by means of an adequate charging procedure, which sets the charging rate as a function of the MG state. Experimental and simulation results in many realistic scenarios demonstrate that the proposed methodology achieves a proper power management of the DC microgrid.

In a Microgrid system that relies on renewable energy generation, one of the most important constituent systems is the Battery Energy Storage System because of its vital role in maintaining the stability of the Microgrid in providing power to the load. However, to operate the battery, a Battery Management System is needed to ensure the battery operates at the desired working range, so that battery reliability can be maintained. To determine the behavior of the Microgrid and the designed BMS in accordance with the desired specifications, a Hardware-inthe-Loop (HIL) Simulation has been designed using Simulink to model a DC Microgrid which consists of several sub-systems such as: An ideally designed generator and load as a tester, a bidirectional buck and boost converter with a PI controller, and a battery system equipped with a Switched Shunt Resistor Cell Balancing type, all controlled using the BMS algorithm implemented on Arduino. From the test results, it is found that HIL can communicate with good QoS on various inputs as long as the Arduino sample time meets. Then the PI controller with HIL was able to improve converter performance and also succeeded in controlling cell balancing with the efficiency of charging and idle modes of 99% and 99.4% respectively. Finally, in testing the integrated system, the BMS can maintain the performance of the Microgrid with bus voltage and battery current parameters in various SoC conditions and generator voltage fluctuations, even though there are high voltage transients.

Power management in multi-power supply electrical systems to manage the general system behavior is essential to improve autonomy and efficiency. In this paper, a proposed fuzzy-logic power management-based sugeno rule is applied in a hybrid PV/battery electric wheelchair to ameliorate the battery life cycle and the overall autonomy. Besides, the increment conductance INC MPPT is used to maximize PVpower. The electric wheelchair's general topology comprises photovoltaic energy resources as the main source and the battery energy storage system device as the auxiliary source. This hybrid power source system supplied the electric wheelchair composed two permanent magnet DC motors controlled by a PI controller. MATLAB/Simulink program is used to implement the overall control scheme. The simulation results that were obtained and the detailed study demonstrate the feasibility and performance of this intelligent strategy.

This paper presents an innovative approach to the design of a forthcoming, fully electric-powered cargo vessel. This work begins by defining problems that need to be solved when designing vessels of this kind. Using available literature and market research, a solution for the design of a power management system and a battery management system for a cargo vessel of up to 1504 TEU capacity was developed. The proposed solution contains an innovative approach with three parallel energy sources. The solution takes into consideration the possible necessity for zero-emission work with the optional function of operation as an autonomous vessel. Energy storage system based on lithium-ion battery banks with a possibility of expanding the capacity is also described in this work as it is the core part of the proposed solution. It is estimated that the operation range for zero-emission work mode of up to 136 nautical miles can be achieved through the application of all fore-mentioned parts.

The concept of a DC Microgrid (DCMG) is a promising option to integrate various non-conventional energy resources in islanded and grid connected modes. The DCMG proposed in this work consists of renewable energy sources, battery energy storage system, and various loads. The control schemes, proposed by the authors in [1], [2], have been utilized for the power management and maintaining the DC grid voltage under different operating scenario, including fault conditions. Before physical installation of the DCMG, it is necessary to simulate it in the real time environment to evaluate its performance. This paper presents the testing, validation, and performance evaluation of the proposed DCMG on Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS).

The evolving global landscape for electrical distribution and use created a need area for energy storage systems (ESS), making them among the fastest growing electrical power system products. A key element in any energy storage system is the capability to monitor, control, and optimize performance of an individual or multiple battery modules in an energy storage system and the ability to control the disconnection of the module(s) from the system in the event of abnormal conditions. This management scheme is known as “battery management system (BMS)”, which is one of the essential units in electrical equipment. BMS reacts with external events, as well with as an internal event. It is used to improve the battery performance with proper safety measures within a system. Therefore, a safe BMS is the prerequisite for operating an electrical system. This report analyzes the details of BMS for electric transportation and large-scale (stationary) energy storage. The analysis includes different aspects of BMS covering testing, component, functionalities, topology, operation, architecture, and BMS safety aspects. Additionally, current related standards and codes related to BMS are also reviewed. The report investigates BMS safety aspects, battery technology, regulation needs, and offer recommendations. It further studies current gaps in respect to the safety requirements and performance requirements of BMS by focusing mainly on the electric transportation and stationary application. The report further provides a framework for developing a new standard on BMS, especially on BMS safety and operational risk. In conclusion, four main areas of (1) BMS construction, (2) Operation Parameters, (3) BMS Integration, and (4) Installation for improvement of BMS safety and performance are identified, and detailed recommendations were provided for each area. It is recommended that a technical review of the BMS be performed for transportation electrification and large-scale (stationary) applications. A comprehensive evaluation of the components, architectures, and safety risks applicable to BMS operation is also presented.
