Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing integration of renewable energy with conventional energy sources into the power grid system coupled with the desire for distributed energy generation have led to a need for Electrical Energy Storage (ESS) systems that can help stabilize the intermittent energy generation associated with certain renewable sources such as wind and solar energy. EES are also expected to play a critical role in load-leveling operations resulting from both varying demands and the increased penetration of renewable and distributed energy generation in the power grid system. A reliable EES design strategy will help us understand the different operational scenarios and the impact of EES on the installed capacities of renewable energy sources in the energy grid. A modeling approach can be used to simulate, analyze, and aid the design of EES and assess their impact on power grid/electrical systems.

This Special Issue seeks to contribute to the development and design of reliable EES systems through multidisciplinary scientific contributions in modeling, analysis, and simulation. We invite papers that focus on different types of EES modeling, including batteries, flow cells, supercapacitors, solid oxide cells, flywheels, etc. Models focused on design decisions related to EES system operation, performance, effective thermal management, durability, and system integration are welcome. Reviews and case studies relevant to EES modeling will also be considered.

The continuous development of energy storage (ES) technologies and their wider utilization in modern power systems are becoming more and more visible. ES is used for a variety of applications ranging from price arbitrage, voltage and frequency regulation, reserves provision, black-starting and renewable energy sources (RESs), supporting load-generation balancing. The cost of ES technologies remains high; nevertheless, future decreases are expected. As the most profitable and technically effective solutions are continuously sought, this article presents the results of the analyses which through the created unit commitment and dispatch optimization model examines the use of ES as support for load-generation balancing. The performed simulations based on various scenarios show a possibility to reduce the number of starting-up centrally dispatched generating units (CDGUs) required to satisfy the electricity demand, which results in the facilitation of load-generation balancing for transmission system operators (TSOs). The barriers that should be encountered to improving the proposed use of ES were also identified. The presented solution may be suitable for further development of renewables and, in light of strict climate and energy policies, may lead to lower utilization of large-scale power generating units required to maintain proper operation of power systems.
