Control and Power Management in HRES System

A novel energy control strategy for a battery super capacitor in HRES, which is designed to be tunable to achieve different goals, is described. Two possible goals for adding a pack of super capacitors are examined for a test micro grid using lead acid batteries 1 improving the microgrid'sefficiency and range and 2 reducing the peak currents in the battery pack to increase battery life. The benefits of hybridization are compared with those achievable by increasing the size of the battery pack by a comparable mass to the super capacitors. The availability of energy from regenerative braking and the characteristics of the super capacitors are considered as impact factors. Super capacitors were found to be effective at reducing peak battery currents however, the benefits to range extension were found to be limited. A battery life extension of at least 50 is necessary to make super capacitors cost effective for the test vehicle at current prices.
