Energy storage converters have two working modes: grid-connected and off-grid. In grid-connected mode, the PCS bidirectionally converts the energy between the battery pack and the grid. It has features such as anti-islanding, automatic tracking of grid voltage phase and frequency, and low voltage ride-through.
In the conventional approach, which involves a single power conversion stage, the energy storage system is connected directly to the DC link of the converter (Fig. 4 c). Increasing its working voltage requires larger serially-connected cell strings, leading to reductions in system-level reliability.
As a consequence, the electrical grid sees much higher power variability than in the past, challenging its frequency and voltage regulation. Energy storage systems will be fundamental for ensuring the energy supply and the voltage power quality to customers.
