Energy storage equipment operation and maintenance solution

How to control and maintain electrochemical storage facilities?

Another essential factor for the optimum control and maintenance of electrochemical storage facilities is to provide the plant with a system for processing and interpreting data, issuing reports and managing alarms, both for the technical teams in charge and for customers.

Who is energy storage solutions (E22)?

At Energy Storage Solutions (E22), we have a highly specialized technical team with many years of accumulated experience in the sector, trained to design, implement, commission and provide assistance in the operation and maintenance stage of any of these subsystems.

Can energy management strategies cope with MGS equipped with ESS?

Contrary to other proposed approaches, the present work aims at defining an energy management strategy that is able to cope with the main issues of MGs equipped with ESS, i.e., ESS degradation and unexpected outages of the main grid, which can be appreciated only considering long time horizons.

What are ESS operation actions?

The operation actions concern the management of the ESS charging and discharging, which, in turn, determines the amount of energy that will be bought or sold to the main utility grid according to the energy balance in Eq. (5), and when to satisfy the shiftable loads. The maintenance action considered in this work is the replacement of the ESS.

How does ESS degradation affect storage capacity?

For what concerns ESS degradation, it has a direct impact on the storage capacity of the ESS, which decreases, and on its internal resistance, which increases, so that, as time passes, it becomes more difficult to properly deal with the variability of RESs.

How is the energy required by Shiftable loads distributed?

The energy required by the shiftable loads, L s Δ t i T L s, is distributed according to the uniform distribution U 1.10 5.50 kWh and the corresponding time available to satisfy the request, T L s, is sampled from an exponential distribution with rate λ T L s equal to 0.05 hour s − 1.
