Abstract :
Distributed Generation (DG) and RES (Renewable Energy Sources) are expected to grow exponentially, changing design and operation of electrical distribution networks. This is leading to the realization of Micro-Grids (MGs), active networks and Smart Grids (SGs). A real support for the SGs operation could be easily guaranteed through the use of customized electric power storage devices. These devices are similar to Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS), typically employed in transmission systems. Accordingly, in this paper, a customized electric power storage device, for application in Smart MGs, is proposed and described. Its layout, main components and functions are described. The control modes and strategies for the energy management in a Smart MG and its Battery Management System (BMS) are also described.
