Electrical energy storage systems for increasing technical and economical characteristics of gas engine power plants

Developing of new technologies such as electrical energy storage systems (EESS) opens new ways to increasing efficiency, decreasing exhaust waste and fuel consumption in traditional fossil fuels power station. This paper contains actual testing results of electrical energy storage system based on lithium-ion technology working with gas engine generator and altering load power. EESS parameters: rated power 100 kVA, rated capacity 153 kWh. As is known, gas generators are sensitive to changes in load power, obtained results show the effectiveness of the usage EESS to supply sustainability of generators in high amplitude and frequency altering load power environment. These results achieved through the ability of the developed converter and control strategy to compensate rapid deviations of the load power. In additional, in control system realized others common functionality: active power limitation, voltage and frequency control, reactive power control, power factor control and others. With the usage EESS, the nominal power of plane station should be lower than without EESS.
