Next-Gen Testing for PV-Storage-Charging Systems
There are a lot of advantages to integrating solar power, energy storage, and EV charging. Learn the technologies available to implement and test such combined systems.
Energy storage systems (ESSs), and particularly battery energy storage systems, are finding their way into a very wide range of applications for utilities, commercial, industrial, military and residential power. Applications include renewable integration, frequency regulation, critical backup power, peak shaving, load leveling, and more.
However, with the IT6600C, a single unit is sufficient to handle both tasks with the dual channels. Channels are fully isolated and independently controllable, enabling simultaneous testing of both PV and battery energy storage systems (Figure 4). Figure 4.
The testing is being performed for DTE Energy as part of the US Department of Energy's Energy Storage Smart Grid Demonstration Program. The CES consists of a power conditioning system, and a battery energy storage unit. Testing may include basic operation, round-trip efficiency, peak shaving, and frequency regulation.
Chemistries range from Li-Ion, NiMH, NaNiCl, NaS, ZnO, Na+, and PbSO4; and technologies range from standard to flow, metal, and super-capacitors. Practical difficulties with testing such a wide range of energy storage technologies include the wide range of applications, measurements, electrical connectivity, and digital communication protocols.
There are a lot of advantages to integrating solar power, energy storage, and EV charging. Learn the technologies available to implement and test such combined systems.
