Control of Distributed Energy Storage System using Vanadium Batteries

该项目旨在开发一种新的控制方法，用于堆叠、系统和微电网级别的分布式能量存储，利用最有前途的液流电池技术之一--钒氧化还原电池。这是以存储为中心的方法的首次尝试，该方法包括：采用先进的新型电力电子技术设计和控制钒液流电池，以实现最佳充放电条件；以及可扩展的分布式能量存储和功率管理方法，将能量定价纳入存储调度，使分布式自主控制器能够实现最佳的本地技术经济性能和微电网范围的效率和可靠性。

This project aims to develop a new control approach to distributed energy storage at stack, system and microgrid levels, utilising one of the most promising flow battery technologies - vanadium redox batteries. This is the first attempt of a storage centric approach that includes: an integrated approach to design and control of vanadium flow batteries with novel advanced power electronics technologies to achieve optimal charging/discharging conditions; and, a scalable distributed energy storage and power management approach incorporating energy pricing for storage dispatch that allows distributed autonomous controllers to achieve optimal local techno-economic performance and microgrid-wide efficiency and reliability.
