Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of renewable energy (such as wind energy and solar energy) is an effective way to alleviate global environmental pollution and reduce dependence on fossil energy. However, the intermittency of renewable energy has hindered the deployment of large-scale intermittent renewable energy, which, therefore, has necessitated the development of advanced large-scale energy storage technologies. The use of advanced large-scale energy storage can effectively improve the efficiency of energy resource utilization, and increase the use of variable renewable resources and the end-use sector electrification (e.g., the electrification of the transport sector).

This Special Issue primarily aims to provide a platform for presenting the latest research findings on the technology development of large-scale energy storage. We welcome research papers on theoretical, methodological, and empirical studies, as well as review papers that provide a critical overview on the state-of-the-art of technologies. This Special Issue is open to all types of energy (such as thermal energy, mechanical energy, electrical energy, and chemical energy) using different types of systems (such as phase change materials, batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, compressed air, etc.) that are applicable to various types of applications (such as heat and power generation, electrical/hybrid transportation, etc.).

Topics of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Novel energy storage materials and topologies;
  • Applications in electrical/hybrid-driven systems and electrical/hybrid vehicles;
  • Next-generation energy storage devices, systems, or techniques;
  • Large-scale energy storage system modeling, simulation, and optimization (including testing and modelling ageing processes);
  • Advanced control systems for energy storage
  • Business model for the application and deployment of energy storage;
  • Lifecycle analysis, safety, and reliability evaluation of energy storage systems.

With the development of salt cavern gas storage technology, the construction of large-scale salt cavern gas storage using sediment voids is expected to solve the problems of low effective volume formation rate and poor construction economy of high-impurity salt mines. At present, there are few studies on the long-term operational mechanical behavior of salt cavern gas storage under the influence of sediment accumulation. The present paper studies the influence of sediment height, particle gradation, and operating pressure on the stability of salt caverns by constructing a coupling model of sediment particle discontinuous medium and surrounding rock continuous medium. The continuous–discontinuous coupling algorithm is suitable for analyzing the influence of sediment height and particle gradation on the creep shrinkage of salt caverns. The increase in sediment height slows down the creep shrinkage of the cavern bottom, which strengthens the restraining effect on the surrounding rock of the cavern. As a result, the position of the maximum displacement of the surrounding rock moves to the upper part of the cavern. The sediment particle gradation has little effect on the cavern volume shrinkage rate. The greater the coarse particle content, the smaller the cavern volume shrinkage rate. The greater the operating pressure, the more conducive to maintaining the stability of the cavern. This situation slows down the upward movement of the sediment accumulation and increases the gas storage space in the upper part of the cavern. The obtained results can provide a reference for evaluating the long-term operational stability of sediment-type high-impurity salt cavern gas storage. Full article

Due to the extensive utilization of liquid nature gas (abbreviated as LNG) resources and a multitude of considerations, LNG storage tanks are gradually transitioning towards smaller footprints and heightened safety standards. Consequently, underground LNG storage tanks are being designed and constructed. However, underground LNG storage tanks release a considerable quantity of cold into the ground under both accidental and normal conditions. The influence of cold results in the ground freezing, which further compromises the safety of the structure. Existing research has neglected to consider the effects of this. This oversight could potentially lead to serious safety accidents. In this work, a complete set of experiments using a novel LNG underground storage tank fluid-solid-thermal coupled cryogenic leakage scale model were conducted for the first time to simulate the effect of the tank on the soil temperature field, stress field, and displacement field and to analyze the development of the three fields and the results of the effect. This research helps the related personnel to better design, construct, and evaluate the LNG underground storage tanks to avoid the catastrophic engineering risks associated with cryogenic leakage and helps to improve the design process of LNG underground storage tanks.

This paper aims to meet the challenges of large-scale access to renewable energy and increasingly complex power grid structure, and deeply discusses the application value of energy storage configuration optimization scheme in power grid frequency modulation. Based on the equivalent full cycle model and a large number of actual operation data, various energy storage technologies are technically analyzed, and the economic and environmental performance of different energy storage configuration schemes are comprehensively evaluated. On this basis, this paper puts forward a set of efficient and economical energy storage configuration optimization strategies to meet the demand of power grid frequency modulation and promote the wide application of energy storage technology. After an in-depth analysis, it is found that the optimized energy storage configuration scheme is excellent in technology, economy, and environmental protection. Specifically, in terms of technical performance, the optimization scheme has significantly improved key indicators such as energy storage efficiency, capacity and power, and response speed, which can better meet the requirements of power grid frequency modulation. Through the verification of actual operation data, it is found that the overall efficiency of the optimized energy storage configuration scheme is above 55%, which is helpful to the stability and efficiency of power grid frequency modulation. In terms of economic performance, although the initial investment cost of the optimization scheme may be high, it is found that it has good economy through the evaluation of long-term operation benefits. Considering that the energy storage system can reduce the operating cost of the power grid, improve the energy utilization rate, and achieve the optimization of cost-effectiveness in the long run, this scheme is economically feasible and attractive. In terms of environmental performance, the optimization scheme effectively reduces the negative impact on the environment by improving energy storage efficiency, reducing emissions, and optimizing resource utilization. This is not only conducive to the sustainable development of the power grid but also in line with the current global trend of promoting green and low-carbon transformation. To sum up, this paper not only provides an efficient and economical energy storage allocation optimization strategy for power grid frequency modulation but also provides a scientific basis for relevant decision-making departments. By promoting the practical application and development of energy storage technology, this paper is helpful to improve the frequency modulation ability of power grid, optimize energy structure, and reduce environmental pollution, and thus achieve the goal of sustainable energy development. The data results and in-depth analysis of this paper provide strong support for the practical application of energy storage configuration optimization scheme and also provide important reference for the further innovation and development of energy storage technology.

Assessing the performance of active balancing methods poses a significant challenge due to the time required to replicate the equalization of various balancing techniques under identical initial cell conditions. Conventional circuit simulation methods, designed for high-frequency switching behavior, impose a considerable computational burden when applied to the long-term equalization of battery cells. To address this challenge, this paper presents an efficient performance evaluation method employing an average equivalent model of the equalizers. By representing the charge transfer mechanism inherent to the equalization process, the proposed approach is compatible with the most widely used switched-energy-tank equalizers. The validity of this method is confirmed through simulation and experimental results. In the case of four series-connected battery cells, our proposed approach can assess the performance of a three-hour equalization process in just one minute of execution time. The use cases in the paper highlight the practical feasibility of the AM in facilitating performance comparisons of SET-Es under various initial conditions. Full article

Since lithium-ion batteries are rarely utilized in their full state-of-charge (SOC) range (0–100%); therefore, in practice, understanding the performance degradation with different SOC swing ranges is critical for optimizing battery usage. We modeled battery aging under different depths of discharge (DODs), SOC swing ranges and temperatures by coupling four aging mechanisms, including the solid–electrolyte interface (SEI) layer growth, lithium (li) plating, particle cracking, and loss of active material (LAM) with a P2D model. Additionally, the mechanisms causing accelerated capacity to drop near a battery’s end of life (EOL) were investigated systematically. The results indicated that when the battery operated with a high SOC range, the capacity was more prone to accelerated degradation near the EOL. Among the four degradation mechanisms, li plating was mainly sensitive to the operation temperature and SOC swing ranges, while the SEI growth was mainly sensitive to temperature. Furthermore, there was an inhibitory interaction between li plating and SEI growth, as well as positive feedback between LAM and particle cracking during battery aging. Additionally, we discovered that the extremely low local porosity around the anode separator could cause the ‘knee point’ of capacity degradation. Full article
