ESS Inc becomes 'US' first publicly-traded long-duration energy storage company' 12 October 2021. ESS Inc is the holder of proprietary technology which makes the Oregon-headquartered company the only provider in the world of a flow battery based on an iron and saltwater electrolyte.
In an interview for Energy-Storage.news in late November, US national Energy Storage Association (ESA) CEO Kelly Speakes-Backman said that 2021 will be an “important year for energy storage” and that the industry will continue to grow at an accelerated rate – with at least 3.6GW of storage expected to come online.
Research firm Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables found that in the third quarter of 2020, 467MW / 764MWh of energy storage was deployed around the US across all market segments.
For the US energy storage industry, still the world's leader in adopting batteries for the grid and for renewables, it has however been a year in which clear steps forward have been taken.
In this paper, a simplified consensus-based distributed secondary control for BESSs in DC microgrids is proposed with only one virtually defined state variable being transmitted, where a cascaded control framework consisting of an SoC controller and a voltage controller is used to regulate DC bus voltages.
Chen et al. proposed a distributed cooperative secondary control for batteries in DC microgrids, a state variable related to the battery SoC is defined and it varies when BESSs switch between charging and discharging modes to achieve SoC balance, .
Also, battery and Super Capacitor (SC) banks are considered as secondary energy systems. The high power density and the fast dynamics of SCs combined with the high energy density and medium dynamics of batteries would be an ideal combination for FC vehicles.
While the vehicle moves and required power is lower than the sum of the nominal FC and PV power, the two secondary storage systems can be loaded using additional FC energy. In braking mode, charging the battery or SC depends on the degree of deceleration.
Hu et al. proposed a secondary control strategy with four controllers, including a current-sharing controller, an SoC balance controller, a virtual impedance correction controller, and a local reference voltage controller, they collectively achieve voltage regulation and SoC balance .
Without support of the main grid, the battery energy storage system (BESS) is an indispensable unit of islanded microgrids. Meanwhile, cyber attack is an inevitable issue with the application of advanced communication and control technologies in microgrids. 1.1. Battery energy storage system
For effective control of battery energy storage units, a Voltage–Power (V-P) reference-based droop control and leader–follower consensus method is employed. The control approach consists of primary and secondary control layers. The primary layer uses a V-P reference-based droop control strategy to allocate load components to storage units.

[PDF Version]The energy platform is made of three key components: the energy cloud for the generation, distribution and storage of electricity, the digital platform for industry and customers to jointly manage the energy infrastructure, and the transaction platform for trading and services.
Based on the analysis of the users' energy storage application modes and the upper bound of service fee payment, an energy storage planning strategy to maximize the platform operator's revenue is proposed.
In order to implement the energy platform, there is significant work to develop enabling technologies such as energy storage, power electronics, and mathematical and computing tools. Control and optimization of a large number of devices and players to ensure system-level performance also requires a large and sustained effort.
The energy platform is certainly an ideal mechanism for information sharing and exchange, but the security requirements put pressure on the development and implementation of new theories and technologies such as the block chain technology .
Innovative solutions play an essential role in supporting the transition to a new energy-saving system by expanding energy storage systems. The growth and development of energy storage systems should be central to planning infrastructure, public transport, new homes, and job creation.
Using PEST analysis, we demonstrated that governments, national officials, and people have key roles in expanding energy storage systems for renewable power integration. Figure 1 shows the framework of the methodology of this paper. It implies that a collaboration between officials and people is necessary to expand energy storage.
