Cooperative Control of Distributed Energy
Storage Systems
Cooperative control of distributed energy storage systems ( DESS ) is a critical approach in managing distributed energy resources . It enables various energy storage units to work together , maintaining grid stability and reducing the risk of failure . This method promotes efficient use of renewable energy by optimally storing and dispatching power . It also extends the lifespan and boosts performance of the storage units by evenly spreading loading and discharging cycles . DESS cooperative control is key to a resilient and efficient energy infrastructure . |
Competitive Advantage Expertise in developing centralised and distributed multi-agent control strategies for energy storage systems , providing :
• improved performance compared with decentralised control strategies
• advantages in terms of robustness , scalability , security and flexibility over centralised control strategies
Impact • Cooperative balancing can avoid costly power network upgrades and increase power-supply security
Successful Applications Development of centralised and multi-agent control strategies for distributed energy storage systems that :
• are robust to communication network delays
|
Capabilities and Facilities Real-Time Digital Simulators that allow :
• real-time verification of algorithms and simulation of power networks combined with accurate models of energy storage systems and power converters
• hardware-in-the-loop simulation , which is the final step before field verification – this presents an opportunity for rapid research , development and verification , necessary for translating theoretical advances in multi-agent cooperative control into new strategies suitable for deployment in power system networks
