The total cost consists of two factors, including the lifecycle cost of capacitors as well as the system's energy loss during the lifespan of capacitors. Thus, the capacitor banks should at least compensate for the lifecycle cost by decreasing the loss cost. The lifecycle cost includes installation, O&M, and purchasing (namely kVar) costs.
The simulation is carried out in Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results show that the proposed method combines SOC estimation and energy conversion, which can realize the optimal management of super capacitor and has fast dynamic response capability. 1. INTRODUCTION
To improve the complexity, first, the locations for installing capacitors are determined in the first stage. Then, the optimal base sizes of capacitor banks are optimized in the second stage. The size of each capacitor bank is its base size multiplied by the switching step (as a coefficient from 0 to 10).
Accordingly, installing capacitors in the network improves the power factor and hence decreases the reactive power. Methods and Objectives: This paper presents an approach to maximize the saving in terms of financial costs, energy resources, environmental protection, and also to enhance the power system efficiency.
For high-voltage applications, the number of super capacitors used on the low-voltage side can be effectively reduced by the application of this converter. It can effectively solve the problem that the series of super capacitors are too large to require voltage equalization.
At the same time, the energy storage system based on the shifting full-bridge converter can achieve a large ratio, which can effectively reduce the number of series and parallel super capacitors in the super capacitor module of the low-voltage side.
