Energy Storage Power Supply Dynamics

Energy storage systems are increasingly used as part of electric power systems to solve various problems of power supply reliability. With increasing power of the energy storage systems and the share of their use in electric power systems, their influence on operation modes and transient processes becomes significant.

The purpose of this study is to investigate potential solutions for the modelling and simulation of the energy storage system as a part of power system by comprehensively reviewing the state-of-the-art technology in energy storage system modelling methods and power system simulation methods.

ESSs refers to a collection of devices or equipment that can store electric energy through physical or chemical means and convert it back into electricity when required. Advances in technology and theory have resulted in the development of ESSs from a simple energy storage device to a valuable contributor to power system operations.

Due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, modern power systems face great challenges across generation, network and demand side. Energy storage systems are recognised as indispensable technologies due to their energy time shift ability and diverse range of technologies, enabling them to effectively cope with these changes.

For example, the physical-based modelling method of mechanical energy storage systems mainly utilise theories in mechanics, thermodynamics or fluid dynamics. The mathematical equations governing components with strong correlations are amalgamated to build the model [,, ].

Second, the energy storage operation model of the power supply side under the high proportion of wind power access is established, and the impact of new energy access on the system balance and energy storage configuration is explored.
