What is balancing the state-of-charge (SOC) of a battery?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Battery energy storage systems are widely used in energy storage microgrids. As the index of stored energy level of a battery, balancing the State-of-Charge (SoC) can effectively restrain the circulating current between battery cells.

How to improve the carrying capacity of a distributed energy storage system?

To improve the carrying capacity of the distributed energy storage system, fast state of charge (SOC) balancing control strategies based on reference voltage scheduling (RVSF) function and power command iterative calculation (PIC) are proposed in this paper, respectively.

Can event-triggered control strategy achieve state of charge balancing control?

Volume 125, article number 339, ( 2019 ) In this paper, an event-triggered control strategy is proposed to achieve state of charge (SoC) balancing control for distributed battery energy storage system (BESS) with different capacities’ battery units under an undirected topology.

What is a state-of-charge balancing control strategy?

Huang and Abu Qahouq [ 2] proposed a state-of-charge balancing control strategy based on energy sharing for a distributed BESS architecture in which the battery-balancing system and the direct current (DC) bus voltage regulation system were combined into one system.

What is a battery energy storage system?

A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed.

How can EV charging and discharging scheduling improve power system reliability?

The increasing of EV charging and discharging scheduling coordinated with RESs and energy consumption may result in the development of techniques to enhance the overall power system reliability and flexibility .
