The challenges posed by the intermittent nature of renewable energy resources, particularly in wind and PV power plants, present significant obstacles for countries with substantial installations of such energy sources. For instance, during peak power generation periods, an excess of generated power from renewable sources beyond load demand can lead to power system overload, triggering protection devices. An effective solution to this issue is incorporating energy storage systems.
This webinar aims to elucidate various energy storage systems, primarily focusing on battery energy storage systems. It will comprehensively review diverse battery technologies, comparing their respective features. Additionally, a concise examination of power electronic converters, essential for linking battery energy storage systems to the grid, will be provided. Finally, the webinar will delve into an overview of different grid support functions, including virtual inertia, peak shaving, and time shifting.
Key takeaways from this webinar
- Introduction to different types of energy storage systems
- Explanation about battery technology and different types of battery storage systems
- Solutions to support the power system using energy storage systems
Presenter: Dr. Hossein Dehghani Tafti, EIT Lecturer
Hossein Dehghani Tafti earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering and power system engineering from the Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2009 and 2011, respectively. He went on to complete his PhD in electrical engineering at Nanyang Technological University Singapore in 2018. From January 2018 to April 2020, he served as a Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological University, focusing on the control of photovoltaic systems for grid support. Following that, from May 2020 to May 2021, Dr. Tafti held the position of senior research associate at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. During this time, he concentrated on the modelling and testing of commercial photovoltaic inverters. Currently, he serves as a lecturer at the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) and concurrently holds a research fellow position at the Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Computer Engineering, University of Western Australia, Perth, WA. His research interests encompass the grid integration of renewable energy sources, specifically photovoltaics and energy storage, as well as the design and control of multilevel power converters.
