Research on Super Capacitor Energy Storage System for Power Network

A Super Capacitor Energy Storage (SCES) system applied to distributed generation system and distribution network is presented, which is mainly composed of three parts: the electrical double-layer capacitors array that stores energy, the AC/DC-DC/AC power converter system and the integrated control system composed of microprocessors. Application studies of the SCES system for active power supply, voltage control, voltage oscillation elimination and harmonic elimination are described. The stability and control effect of the system relation to the node impedance are analyzed in detail. This paper also presents studies on experiments of the SCES system synchronous and re-synchronous operating with power network when grid fault and recovered.
