Can a battery energy storage system enhance an isolated island microgrid?
This paper presents the frequency enhancement of an isolated island microgrid by a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a frequency sensor controller (FSC). We selected the Chimei Island microgrid for our study. The total installation capacity of solar photovoltaic (SPV) plants is 410 kWp with over 50% instantaneous penetration level.
What is energy storage?
Energy storage is a technical solution for decoupling electricity supply and demand, providing flexibility without compromise the overall system (Alves et al. 2019). By combining renewable energy and storage systems into hybrid energy approaches, it is possible to replace fossil electricity generation by approximately 100%.
What is energy storage system (BESS)?
storage system (BESS) can also achieve similar RR control by active power compensation. An SPV plant generates electricity by harvesting solar energy. Also, energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use when needed. A BESS is a technology developed for the storage and release of electric power by using various batteries.
Which microgrid is suitable for solar photovoltaic installation?
We selected the Chimei Island microgrid for our study. The total installation capacity of solar photovoltaic (SPV) plants is 410 kWp with over 50% instantaneous penetration level. A BESS with the proposed FSC was installed to alleviate the impact of SPV power output variation on the microgrid.
How many battery banks does the island need?
According to the records for January 2019, this island power peak was 7299 kW (EDA 2019). Thus, taking into account the expressions 1 and 2, it is determined that this island needs, at least, 169 battery banks. According to the most recent data, it is known that the annual energy production in 2018 was 46,315.50 MWh (EDA 2019).
How many sustainable hybrid systems are there in each island?
Each island has an independent electrical system classified as an isolated micro-system, given its size and location. The aim of this paper is to analyse the best set of technologies to have nine sustainable hybrid systems.
