High voltage energy storage pcs

How do energy storage systems work?

Energy Storage Systems are structured in two main parts. The power conversion system (PCS) handles AC/DC and DC/AC conversion, with energy flowing into the batteries to charge them or being converted from the battery storage into AC power and fed into the grid. Suitable power device solutions depend on the voltages supported and the power flowing.

What are the simulation parameters of energy storage PCs System?

Table 1. Simulation parameters. Among them, the rated voltage of the power grid is 10 kV and the frequency is 50 Hz. The HVAC part of the energy storage PCS system contains 15 modules in each phase, with a three-phase Y-connection.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage can solve the power grid’s requirements of transient stability and short-term power balance and can be used for long-term power regulation. It can effectively deal with the systemic peak valley regulation and blocking of transmission and distribution lines [ 1, 2 ].

Is large-scale energy storage a good idea?

Large-scale energy storage is favorable currently. The capacity expansion needs to be realized by the parallel connection of multiple low-voltage small-capacity PCSs and connected to a medium- or high-voltage power grid through the transformer. The connection would lead to the problems of low efficiency, high cost and unnecessary land occupation.

Does easy offer a 3-level power conversion system?

For power conversion systems where a 3-level topology is of interest, Easy offers a full portfolio of 3-level configurations up to 200+ kW power level. Infineon’s CoolGaN™ is a highly efficient GaN (gallium nitride) transistor technology for power conversion in the voltage range up to 600V.

Can a high-frequency transformer isolate energy storage battery?

Compared with the conventional topology [ 22, 23 ], the energy-storage PCS proposed in this paper is isolated by a high-frequency transformer, which can cancel the power frequency transformer, reduce the volume of passive components, improve the power density of equipment, and reduce the insulation costs of energy storage battery.
