This paper addresses on a wind power system with BESS(Battery Energy Storage System). The concerned system consists of four parts: the wind speed production model, the wind turbine model, configure capacity of the battery energy storage, battery model and control of the BESS. First of all, we produce wind speed by 4-component composite wind speed model. Secondly, the maximum available wind power is determined by analyzing the produced wind speed and the characteristic curve of wind power. Thirdly, we configure capacity of the BESS according to wind speed and characteristic curve of wind speed-power. Then, we propose a control strategy to track the power reference. Finally, some simulations have been demonstrated to visualize the feasibility of the proposed methodology.

As ESS safety issues increase recently, there is a need to more precisely monitor the temperature of the ESS. In this paper, DTS technology for temperature monitoring of ESS batteries is introduced and the temperature measurement principle is explained. The temperature of the battery module is measured using the DTS system, and the thermal deviation between battery cells inside the battery module is analyzed. In order to analyze how thermal imbalance affects the charging and discharging performance of the battery, an accelerated degradation test was conducted. Cycle life characteristics analysis, battery surface temperature change, and AC impedance characteristics were conducted to analyze how the performance of battery cells differs according to temperature conditions.

When a large-scale photovoltaic (PV) system is introduced into a distribution system, the customer's voltage may exceed the allowable limit ($220V{\pm}6%$) due to voltage variations and reverse power flow in the PV system. In order to solve this problem, we propose a method for adjusting the customer voltage using the existing step voltage regulator (SVR) installed in the primary feeder. However, due to the characteristics of a mechanically operating SVR, the customer voltage during the tap changing time of the SVR is likely to deviate from the allowable limit. In this paper, an energy storage system (ESS) with optimal operation strategies, and an appropriate capacity calculation algorithm are proposed, and the parallel driving scheme between the SVR and the ESS is also proposed to solve the customer voltage problem that may occur during the tap changing time of the SVR. The simulation results show that the allowable limit of the customer voltage is verified by the proposed methods during the tap changing time of the SVR when the large-scale PV system is connected to the distribution system.

In this paper, we estimate the economic benefits of Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) for peak load shaving in an urban railway substation using the annual cost. The annual investment cost of ESSs is estimated using Net Present Value (NPV) and compared with the cost reduction of electricity by the ESS. The optimal capacities of the battery and Power Converting System (PCS) are determined for peak load shaving. The optimal capacity of the ESS and the peak load shaving is determined to maximize the profit by the ESS. The proposed method was applied to real load data in an urban railway substation, and the results show that electric power costs can be reduced. Other aspects of the ESS, such as the lifetime and unit price of the battery, are also investigated economically.

Energy storage system is an energy reservoir which can store the electrical energy produced by the power plant into the chemical energy at the time whenever it needs to use. Accordingly, the energy storage system can help to improve the energy utilization efficiency and the stabilization of the power supply system. In addition, it can cope with the issues of carbon dioxide reduction and depletion of fossil fuel. Lead-acid battery in the secondary battery fields is one of the most developed technologies. It is also economical, reliable storage device. Therefore, the instantiation case of energy storage system using lead-acid battery was investigated for the reference studies.

The energy generated by braking vehicle would simply be converted into waste heat by its braking resistors if no other vehicle is accelerating at exactly the same time. Up to 45% of the tractive power of vehicles capable of returning energy to the power supply can be regenerated during braking and that this energy can be used to feed vehicles which are accelerating at the same time. Such synchronized braking and accelerating can not be coordinated, the ESS(energy storage system, here after) stores the energy generated during braking and discharges it again when a vehicle accelerates. The ESS is able to store and discharge energy extremely quickly, consequently enabling a complete exchange of energy between vehicles, even if they are not braking and accelerating at precisely the same time, as is most frequently the case in everyday service. The energy saving rate is related to the headway. If the headway is long/short, the energy saving goes up/down, When the headway is short, the ESS can not save much regenerative energy. The headway of SeoulMetro line 2 as the worst case is very short in Korea urban transit system. So, the energy saving rate will be very low. If the ESSs are applied to another railway system, we can expect that the effectiveness is better than the results of SeoulMetro line 2. This paper presents effects of energy saving obtained by applying the ESS to SeoulMetro line 2.

The ESS load test device (ELTD) can store and exchange electrical energy during the load test of an emergency generator. On the other hand, it is difficult to commercialize ELTDs based on Li-ion batteries because of the high initial cost, which is higher than a load bank test. If the trade of electrical energy stored in ELTD during the test of an emergency generator is considered, it may be possible to commercialize the ELTD. Therefore, this paper proposes an economic model of ELTD composed of the costs and benefits by considering electrical energy trade to perform accurately economic evaluations of an ELTD. From the simulation results of the economic evaluations of an ELTD and the load bank method, it was found that the commercialization of ELTD is possible when the trade in electrical energy in ELTDs is considered.

This paper presents the criteria for setting the dynamic operating mode of BESS(Battery Energy Storage System) in the bulk power systems. ESS has been expected to improve the degraded dynamic performance of the power system with high penetration of the renewable resources. While ESS is controlled in steady state or dynamic operating mode for its better effectiveness depending on the operating conditions of power systems, the criteria for setting the dynamic operating mode for the transient period needs to be robust enough to cover all the different conditions. The proposed criteria consider the varying conditions and the operating practices of the bulk power systems.
