Fenton, Anthony (2024) Investigating Battery Energy Storage System Asset Life in Hybrid Synchronous Condensers. [USQ Project]
Abstract
Power networks around the world are transitioning to Renewable Energy Sources to reduce carbon emissions. This transition provides engineering challenges to maximise Renewable Energy Sources and reinforce the existing power network. In response to transitioning power networks, technology is being implemented to overcome these challenges, including Battery Energy Storage Systems and Synchronous Condensers. A new approach to incorporating these technologies is to implement them together under a common control system as a Hybrid Synchronous Condenser.
This report investigates the effects a Hybrid Synchronous Condenser may have on the age of batteries within Battery Energy Storage Systems. The methodology develops power network and battery models to simulate these effects, with results indicating Hybrid Synchronous Condensers can extend the asset life of batteries under certain conditions. Recommendations are made for further research opportunities, improvement of products and alignment of standards and industry in developing fields.
