Operation of a Hybrid Energy Storage System Based on a Cascaded Multi-Output Multilevel Converter with a Carrier-Based Modulation Scheme

Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESSs) have gathered considerable interest due to their potential to achieve high energy and power density by integrating different storage technologies, such as batteries and capacitors, to name a few. Among the various topologies explored for HESSs, the multi-output multilevel converter stands out as a...

Modeling and Optimal Tuning of Hybrid ESS Supporting Fast Active Power Regulation of Fully Decoupled Wind Power Generators

The frequency stability of the power system is challenged by the high penetration of power electronic interfaced renewable energy sources (RES). This paper investigates the improvements of the frequency response of fully decoupled wind power generators (FDWG) by proposing a novel generic model implementation of ultracapacitors (UC) within a...

Modelling and Simulation of Energy Storage System for Frequency Stability Studies

The frequency stability of the power system is challenged by the high penetration of power electronic interfaced renewable energy sources (RES). This paper investigates the improvements of frequency responses of fully decoupled wind power generators (FDWG) by proposing a novel implementing of ultracapacitors (UC) within a hybrid scheme in real...

Battery – Supercapacitor Hybrid Energy Storage System: A Practical Approach to Improve Lifecycle Performance of Seagoing Vessels

For many maritime applications Li-Ion batteries are foreseen as energy storage units that can improve the performance of the on-board power system in terms of continuity of service, fuel consumption, emissions and running hours of main engines. However, one of main limitations of battery application in on-board power systems is the aging of...
