Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The worldwide energy revolution is stimulating the rapid development of renewable power generation, e.g., solar photovoltaic power and wind power. Due to the inevitable uncertainty and intermittency of the renewable energy systems, the support from energy storage plays a key role in mitigating the power fluctuation and improving the flexibility of electricity usage. Among all the energy storage candidates, different kinds of lithium-ion battery have dominated the market due to their superior performance. However, there is still a research gap in exploring the applications of different lithium-ion battery techniques in renewable energy systems, especially for sharing the knowledge from battery cell level to system level. By focusing on this issue, this Special Issue intends to cover novel findings, innovative methodologies, and potential breakthroughs in this field. We look forward to the contributions of original research articles and review articles from academia and industry for publication in this Special Issue.

A triple polarization (TP) model is proposed based on the second-order RC hysteresis equivalent circuit model, in order to more precisely reflect the dynamic and static characteristics of a LiFePO4 (LFP) battery, considering the long relaxation time and overshoot of its polarization voltage. The TP model introduces an RC link, whose time constant varies with changes in the battery operating status to represent the fast build-up and slow relaxation of the polarization voltage. Specifically, such an RC link evolves into an RLC parallel link during charging to reveal the overshoot characteristic. In this way, the external characteristics of LFP batteries, considering the complex phase transition process, are simulated by a simple equivalent circuit. Constant-current pulse tests are performed to verify the proposed model. For application, a state-of-charge (SOC) estimation is implemented on the basis of the TP model, with the use of a transformed cubature Kalman Filter (TCKF). The experimental results show that the TP model is able to represent the dynamic and static characteristics, as well as estimate the SOC of an LFP battery with a good accuracy. Full article

Lithium-ion battery energy storage systems are made from sets of battery packs that are connected in series and parallel combinations depending on the application’s needs for power. To achieve optimal control, advanced battery management systems (ABMSs) with health-conscious optimal control are required for highly dynamic applications where safe operation, extended battery life, and maximum performance are critical requirements. The majority of earlier research assumed that the battery cells in these energy storage systems were identical and would vary uniformly over time in terms of cell characteristics. However, in real-world situations, the battery cells might behave differently for a number of reasons. Overcharging and over-discharging are caused by an electrical imbalance that results from the cells’ differences in properties and capacity. Therefore in this study, a stratified real-time control scheme was developed for the dual purposes of minimizing the capacity fade and the energy losses of a battery pack. Each of the cells in the pack is represented by a degradation-conscious physics-based reduced-order equivalent circuit model. In view of the inconsistencies between cells, the proposed control scheme uses a state estimator such that the parametric values of the circuit elements in the cell model are determined and updated in a decentralized manner. The minimization of the capacity fade and energy losses is then formulated as a multiobjective optimization problem, from which the resulting optimal control strategy is realized through the switching actions of a modular multilevel series-parallel converter which interconnects the battery pack to an external AC system. A centralized controller ensures optimal switching sequence of the converter leading to the maximum utilization of the capacity of the battery pack. Both simulation and experimental results are used to verify the proposed methodologies which aim at minimizing the battery degradation by reconfiguring the battery cells dynamically in accordance with the state of health (SOH) of the pack.

State-of-charge (SOC) estimation of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries with good accuracy is of critical importance for battery management systems. For the model-based methods, the electrochemical model has been widely used due to its accuracy and ability to describe the internal behaviors of the battery. However, the uncertainty of parameters and the lack of correction from voltage also induce errors during long-time calculation. This paper proposes a particle filter (PF) based method to estimate Li-ion batteries’ SOC using electrochemical model, with sensitive parameter identification achieved using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. First, a single particle model with electrolyte dynamics (SPME) is used in this work to reduce the computational burden of the battery electrochemical model, whose sensitive parameters are selected through the elementary effect test. Then, the representative sensitive parameters, which are difficult to measure directly, are adjusted by PSO for a high efficiency. Finally, a model-based SOC estimation framework is constructed with PF to achieve accurate Li-ion battery SOC. Compared with extended Kalman filter and equivalent circuit model, the proposed method shows high accuracy under three different driving cycles. Full article

With the high penetration of wind power, the power system has put forward technical requirements for the frequency regulation capability of wind farms. Due to the energy storage system’s fast response and flexible control characteristics, the synergistic participation of wind power and energy storage in frequency regulation is valuable for research. This paper established a frequency characteristic model of a power system, including wind power and energy storage, and analyzed the influence of different frequency regulation methods on system stability. Based on the established model, a fuzzy PID-based energy management strategy was designed for different disturbance scenarios, which offered the advantages of simple parameter design and easy online operation of the project. This paper used a case based on the actual parameters for verification. The energy storage, rated at 10% of the wind farm’s rated power, provided 56% frequency drop suppression and 89% frequency fluctuation rate suppression, according to the proposed model in this paper. The proposed fuzzy PID control strategy achieved adaptive control of the controller parameters under strong disturbances and was able to provide an additional frequency rejection capability of 10–25%.

Photovoltaic self-consumption systems are effective at reducing energy consumption from fossil fuels and carbon emissions. Incorporating energy storage into these systems enables improved energy management and the optimization of their operation. However, to date, few studies have evaluated and compared the energy performance of PV systems with battery storage. In this context, with the current development of High Voltage batteries, research is needed on energy storage at different voltage levels incorporated into PV systems for self-consumption. In this way, the design and operation of an experimental prototype are described, consisting of two photovoltaic systems for self-consumption with energy storage using batteries operating at different voltages. One of them operates at low voltage (Low Voltage Installation, LVI) and the other at high voltage (High Voltage Installation, HVI). Through experimentation, it was demonstrated which installation is more efficient. During commissioning, the results showed the importance of considering the voltage level parameter in a renewable energy production system for self-consumption, since the energy yield of the HVI inverter-battery set was higher than in the case of the LVI on almost all of the days of the month studied. In addition, both systems showed a strong dependence on weather conditions, causing higher energy losses in their components during days with lower solar energy production. Therefore, the need for further analysis of energy efficiency to optimize the integration of these systems into the building sector was demonstrated. Full article
