A Review on Various Load Control Strategies for Battery Energy Storage System in Energy Applications

Abstract:

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is one of the most popular and established options used to decouple the timing of generation and consumption of electric energy. In spite of variety types of energy storage exists, BESS has proven to be widely used in these three main energy applications, which are Renewable Energy (RE) integration, load leveling and peak shaving. Concurrently, managing stored energy and generated power is a real challenge where the load control system plays the decisive role to ensure better energy management efficiency with stabilized and guaranteed energy supply. This paper presents an analysis of various load control algorithms and methods used, integrated with BESS to achieve the required output. Besides that, recent research works are also summarized in this paper. Based on the study, battery State of Charge (SOC) is widely and mainly used in the load control algorithm and proven as effective and reliable load control strategy.
