A master's student at Novosibirsk State Technical University (NETI) is developing a physical model of a hybrid energy storage device. This will provide an opportunity to test and debug algorithms for managing energy storage systems (EES), and demonstrate to potential customers the effectiveness of EES for solving urgent problems in the energy industry.
The relevance of work in this area is due to the fact that in Russia in recent decades, a new element has appeared in modern energy systems — high-speed energy storage systems. They ensure greater stability of the energy system, integration of renewable energy sources and improvement of electricity quality. Their appearance required the development of adequate tools to conduct research on methods and algorithms for managing power system modes. One of such effective tools is a physical model of an energy storage system (EES) with a hybrid storage element as part of the Testing Center of the Faculty of Energy at NSTU-NETI. It will expand the Center's capabilities to study new principles of energy system management.
As Denis Bolshakov, a 1st-year undergraduate student at the Department of Automated Electric Power Systems, notes, if mathematical models are already actively used in research and design work, there are currently no physical models that will make it possible to test and debug the developed SNES algorithms in a "live" power system.
"I have proposed a block diagram of the physical model of hybrid SNES, formulated urgent tasks for which the physical model of SNE can be most successfully used, calculated the parameters of the key components and compiled a list of them," said Denis Bolshakov.
According to him, with the help of this development, it will be possible to test and debug SNES control algorithms, demonstrate to potential customers the effectiveness of SNES for solving urgent problems in the energy industry, conduct research related to the use of SNES for control in power systems, evaluate the effectiveness of new algorithms for controlling emergency automation.
The master's student of NSTU-NETI plans to apply for various grants and startup competitions in order to find financing for the implementation of his project.
In October, Denis Bolshakov took part in the final of the All-Russian competition of graduation papers and diploma research "Generation of the Future" (PJSC Inter RAO), where he presented his thesis "Development of a physical model of a hybrid energy storage device as part of an electrodynamic model of an energy system". The presentation took place within the framework of the eighth International Forum "Russian Energy Week".
