Abstract:

This study proposed an integrated physical energy storage system design and control strategy with gravity energy storage as the main and flywheel energy storage as an auxiliary to smooth the fluctuation and intermittency of discharge caused by multi-weight switching in a gravitational energy storage system based on a skip hoist. First, the study evaluates the working principle, control methods of gravitational energy storage system and flywheel energy storage system, and critical components, such as motor/generator and converter, and further constructs gravitational and flywheel energy storage motor grid-connected system model. Then, the study simulates and analyzes the variation of parameters including the phase voltage and phase current on the machine side and network side of two kinds of energy storage system at charge: stand-by and grid-connected stages. Finally, the study constructs the simulation model of the integrated physical energy storage system, carries out the research on the matching operation characteristics of the two energy storage systems, designs the energy management and control strategy of the integrated energy storage system, and simulates its operating characteristics at different operating stages to verify the feasibility of the structure and control strategy of the integrated physical energy storage system.

Key words: gravity energy storage system (GESS), flywheel energy storage system (FESS), integrated grid-connected control, operating characteristic
