This work presents a review of energy storage and redistribution associated with photovoltaic energy, proposing a distributed micro-generation complex connected to the electrical power grid using energy storage systems, with an emphasis placed on the use of NaS batteries.
After 1-year of operation and testing, AEP has concluded that, although the initial costs of this system are greater than conventional power solutions, the system benefits justify the decision to create a distributed energy storage systems with intelligent monitoring, communications, and control for planning of the future grid.
Energy storage systems For distribution networks, an ESS converts electrical energy from a power network, via an external interface, into a form that can be stored and converted back to electrical energy when needed , , .
In function of their characteristics, photovoltaic systems are adequate to be used for electrical distributed generation. It is a modular technology which permits installation conforming to demand, space availability and financial resources.
When photovoltaic cells are grouped together in panels, they give origin to the photovoltaic generator, or photovoltaic module, utilized in solar generation systems. Distributed photovoltaic systems connected to the grid can be installed to furnish energy to a specific consumer or directly to the grid, increasing reliability of the systems.
The American Electric Power (AEP) utility company in the USA installed a 1.2 MW NaS-based distributed energy storage system at North Charleston, WV, the first in North America in June 2006.
