| Title | Design and Control of a Bidirectional Interlinking Converter for Grid Energy Storage |
| Summary | Grid energy storage is the key to increasing the penetration level of intermittent renewable generation, e.g. solar photovoltaic and wind power in power systems. Most energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors demand a bidirectional DC/AC power converters as the interface to the power grid. The design and control of such an interfacing or interlinking converter are of paramount importance to the performance of grid energy storage systems. This project aims to develop simulation models as well as a down-scaled experimental prototype for such a bidirectional interlinking converter. Advanced control algorithms will also be proposed to realize some ancillary services of energy storage in the power system, e.g. frequency regulation/support, voltage control and power quality improvement to maximize their market values. The control algorithms will be programmed into a digital signal processor and tested in a hardware-in-the-loop simulation environment. |
