Compact substations with BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) are the future of electricity storage. These revolutionary systems play a key role in balancing energy demand and meeting the challenges of intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Today, we will explore the key technologies and components that make this possible.
From the electrical storage categories, capacitors, supercapacitors, and superconductive magnetic energy storage devices are identified as appropriate for high power applications. Besides, thermal energy storage is identified as suitable in seasonal and bulk energy application areas.
Hybrid energy storage systems electronically combined (at least two energy storage systems) with complementary characteristics and to derive higher power and energy results, such as a combined electrical-electrochemical system.
In addition to this, compact substations with BESS include MV (Medium Voltage) switchgear, which offer precise control and optimised energy management. The substations, custom-designed to meet the specific needs of each plant, also house the EMS (Energy Management System), auxiliary transformers and LV (Low Voltage) switchboards.
Capacitor, superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), supercapacitor energy storage (SCES) are categorized as electric ESDs. On the other hand, sensible thermal storage (STES), latent phase-change material (PCM), thermochemical storage (TCS) are categorized under thermal storage devices.
A comprehensive comparative analysis of energy storage devices (ESDs) is performed. A techno-economic and environmental impacts of different ESDs have been presented. Feasibility of ESDs is evaluated with synthesis of technologies versus application requirements. Hybrid solution of ESDs is proposed as feasible solution for RESs grid integration.
