    A Review of Modeling and Applications of Energy Storage Systems in Power Grids
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022-03-25) Calero, Fabian; Cañizares, Claudio A.; Bhattacharya, Kankar; Anierobi, Chioma; Calero, Ivan; Zambroni de Souza, Matheus F.; Farrokhabadi, Mostafa; Guzman, Noela Sofia; Mendieta, William; Peralta, Dario; Solanki, Bharatkumar V.; Padmanabhan, Nitin; Violante, Walter
    As the penetration of variable renewable generation increases in power systems, issues, such as grid stiffness, larger frequency deviations, and grid stability, are becoming more relevant, particularly in view of 100% renewable energy networks, which is the future of smart grids. In this context, energy storage systems (ESSs) are proving to be indispensable for facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs), are being widely deployed in both microgrids and bulk power systems, and thus will be the hallmark of the clean electrical grids of the future. Hence, this article reviews several energy storage technologies that are rapidly evolving to address the RES integration challenge, particularly compressed air energy storage (CAES), flywheels, batteries, and thermal ESSs, and their modeling and applications in power grids. An overview of these ESSs is provided, focusing on new models and applications in microgrids and distribution and transmission grids for grid operation, markets, stability, and control.

    Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution curves for frequency regulation services
    (Elsevier, 2022-07-22) Guzman, Noela Sofia; Cañizares, Claudio A.; Bhattacharya, Kankar; Sohm, Daniel
    This paper presents a detailed methodology to develop Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS) curves, which can be used to optimally determine the appropriate substitution of traditional regulation signals with fast regulation signals, considering different Energy Storage System (ESS) technologies and discharging times, scenarios, and seasons. The presented work is based on the Ontario Power System (OPS) managed by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) of Ontario, Canada. Different comparisons of the MRTS curves are carried out and the criteria used to obtain 16 average optimized MRTS curves, four per season, are presented. Finally, the 16 MRTS curves obtained for the IESO and their parameters are presented, and the use of these curves is explained through an example.
