Hybrid Energy Storage Implementation In Dc And Ac Power System For Efficiency, Power Quality And Reliability Improvements, Mustafa Farhadi

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Battery storage devices have been widely utilized for different applications. However, for high power applications, battery storage systems come with several challenges, such as the thermal issue, low power density, low life span and high cost. Compared with batteries, supercapacitors have a lower energy density but their power density is very high, and they offer higher cyclic life and efficiency even during fast charge and discharge processes. In this dissertation, new techniques for the control and energy management of the hybrid battery-supercapacitor storage system are developed to improve the performance of the system in terms of efficiency, power quality and …
