Coordination of Energy Storage Devices in Hybrid Power Systems

Energy storage becomes a vital and potent factor in the economic development with extensive use of electricity. It hard to succeed the ever growing demand of electrical energy with the use of conventional available electrical network. Although new technologies based on solar, wind etc. have been introduced to feed this very purpose but their uncertainty nature make its application inflexible with limited infrastructure. Past studies have come out with the idea of energy storage to balance the supply and demand of electricity and cope up load challenges. The design of self-reliant future energy network can be achieved by the use of Energy Storage Devices (ESD) that have potential to toil for load balancing, continuous energy supply, conquering fluctuation and creating reserve for emergency. This paper deals with the coordination among different energy storage devices in the hybrid power system environment. The solar-photo voltaic and wind power plant are considered as renewable energy resources. The simulation is performed in MATLAB-Simulink environment. The results are discussed in detail.
