An overview of micro-grid architecture with hybrid storage elements and its control

Trabajo presentado al XV Simposio CEA de Ingeniería de Control: "Control total de planta / Plant-Wide Control", celebrado en Salamanca del 9 al 10 de febrero de 2017.This paper discusses the role of hybrid energy storage systems in future grids to improve the penetration of renewable energy sources. The storage systems are essential in the future grids to improve the power quality and maintain the grid stability under high penetration of renewable sources. The use of more than one type of energy storage elements in the grids with different response times will help in improving the efficiency and reliability of the storage systems. The different control strategies for load sharing among these storage devices are discussed in this paper.This work is done as part of project which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska Curie grant agreement No 675318 (INCITE).Peer Reviewe
