Introduction
•Electric Power Systems - Experiencing Dramatic Changes
•Electric load growth and higher regional power transfers in a largely interconnected network:
>>complex and less secure power system operation.
•Power generation and transmission facilities - unable to meet these new demands
•Growth of electronic loads has made the quality of power supply a critical issue.
•Power system engineers facing these challenges - operate the system in more a flexible.

•In face of disturbances - generators unable to keep the system stable.
•High speed reactive power control is possible through the use of flexible ac transmission systems
(FACTS) devices.
•Better solution: rapidly vary real power without impacting the system through power
circulation.

B. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Batteries are one of the most cost-effective energy storage
technologies available, with energy stored electrochemically.
Key factors in battery for storage applications include: high energy
density, high energy capability, round trip efficiency, cycling
capability, life span, and initial cost.
Battery technologies under consideration for large-scale energy
storage.
Lead-acid batteries can be designed for bulk energy storage or for
rapid charge/discharge.
Photo Source: UP Networks
Mobile applications are favoring sealed lead-acid battery technologies
for safety and ease of maintenance.
Valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries have better cost and
performance characteristics for stationary applications.
BESS Example – Transmission/Distribution Application
Lead-acid batteries,
have been used in a
few commercial and
large-scale energy
management
applications.
The largest one is a 40
MWh system in
Chino, California,
built in 1988. The
table below lists and
compares the leadacid storage systems
that are larger than

C. Advanced / Super / Capacitors
•The amount of energy a capacitor is capable of storing can be
increased by either increasing the capacitance or the voltage
stored on the capacitor.
•The stored voltage is limited by the voltage withstand
strength of the dielectric.
•As with batteries, the turn around efficiency when
charging/discharging capacitors is also an important
consideration, as is response time.
•The effective series resistance of the capacitor has a
significant impact on both. The total voltage change when
charging or discharging capacitors is shown in equation

D. Flywheel Energy Storage (FES)
Flywheels can be used to store energy for power systems when the
flywheel is coupled to an electric machine.
Stored energy depends on the moment of inertia of the rotor and
the square of the rotational velocity of the flywheel.. Energy is
transferred to the flywheel when the machine operates as a motor
(the flywheel accelerates), charging the energy storage device. The
flywheel is discharged when the electric machine regenerates
through the drive (slowing the flywheel).

The energy storage capability of flywheels can be improved
either by increasing the moment of inertia of the flywheel or
by turning it at higher rotational velocities, or both.
The moment of
inertia (I)
depends on the
radius, mass,
and height
(length) of the
rotor

A. Integration of Energy Storage Systems into FACTS Devices
FACTS controllers are power electronics based devices that can rapidly influence the transmission
system parameters such as impedance, voltage, and phase to provide fast control of transmission or
distribution system behavior.
FACTS controllers that can benefit the most from energy storage are those that utilize a voltage
source converter interface to the power system with a capacitor on a dc bus. This class of FACTS
controllers can be connected to the transmission system in parallel (STATCOM), series (SSSC) or
combined (UPFC) form, and they can utilize or redirect the available power and energy from the ac
system.
Without energy storage, FACTS devices are limited in the degree of freedom and sustained action

Improvements in power electronic device
technologies have led to significant improvements
in the flexibility of dc transmission systems through
the ability to use voltage source converters.
Traditional direct current systems see limited use as
high power, high voltage dc (HVdc) transmission
systems.
Advanced dc systems allows lower voltage dc
transmission system capable of supporting a large
number of standard “off the shelf” inverters.
Energy storage can be added to the dc system,
providing improved response to fast load changes
drawn by the inverters.
DC system with capacitive energy storage added
to the dc system through a dc to dc converter.
C. Power Quality Enhancement with Energy Storage
Custom power devices address problems found at distribution level, such as
voltage sags, voltage swells, voltage transients and momentary interruptions.
The most common approaches to mitigate these problems focus on customer
side solutions such as Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems based on
battery energy storage.
Alternative UPS systems based on SMES and FESS are also available.

Cost Considerations
Energy storage system costs for a transmission application are driven by the
operational requirements.
The costs of the system can be broken into three main components:
The energy storage system,
The supporting systems (refrigeration for SMES is a big item) and
The Power Conversion System.
The cost of the energy storage system is primarily determined by the amount of energy to be
stored. The configuration and the size of the power conversion system may become a
dominant component for the high-power low-energy storage applications. For the utility
applications under consideration, estimates are in the range of $10-100K per MJ for the
storage system.
Cost Considerations
In order to establish a realistic cost estimate, the following steps are suggested:
· identify the system issue(s) to be addressed;
· select preliminary system characteristics:
· define basic energy storage, power, voltage and current requirements;
· model system performance in response to system demands to establish
effectiveness of the device;
· optimize system specification and determine system cost;
· determine utility financial benefits from operation;
· compare system’s cost and utility financial benefits to determine adequacy of
utility’s return on investment,
· compare different energy storage systems performance and costs

control of the spare capacities.
•Energy storage devices can facilitate this process, allowing the utility
maximum utilization of utility resources.
•The new power electronics controller devices will enable increased utilization
of transmission and distribution systems with increased reliability.
•This increased reliance will result in increased investment in devices that
