Standalone hybrid generation system for the remote area of Thar, Pakistan
These fluctuations may result in imbalances in power distribution (energy
sources are not equal to
energy sinks). As a result, the voltage and frequency in the power system will be affected. The
addition of energy storage will assist balancing the distribution of power in the power network. The
energy storage behaves like a large buffer to accommodate the unequal
instantaneous energy in the
power system. The energy storage element can act as a load or a generator depending on the supply to
demand ratio. Ideally, at any instant of time, there should be a zero net exchange between the energy
sources and the energy sinks (both real and reactive power) [14-16]. If this balance is not achieved,
the voltage and frequency of the system changes to maintain equilibrium.
There are many energy storage techniques. To mention some [6, 14]:
- Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
- Pumped Hydroelectric Storage System (PHSS)
- Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage System (SMESS)
- Ultra-capacitors
- Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS), etc.
The different energy storage techniques have different applications in power systems. Some of them
are [14]:
i. Rapid reserve,
ii. Area control and frequency responsive reserve,
iii. Commodity storage
iv.
Transmission system stability,
v. Transmission voltage regulation,
vi. Transmission and Distribution facility deferral,
vii. Renewable energy management,
viii. Customer energy management,
ix. Power quality and reliability.
Each technology has its own particular strengths and operational characteristics. In this thesis, the
battery bank as energy storage device is only considered.
