Issues in Distributed Power Generation
• Demand is unpredictable, generation used to be predictable (!) to meet demand
• Renewable energy generation is unpredictable
• Australian Network:
• It is weak, long and thin (rural farming and community loads)
• It has limited import/export opportunities (between the states)
• It has large load variations (associated with heat waves, or mining loads, or faults)
• It has low power system inertia (due to decommissioning old power stations)
• Issues In Australia:
• Fringe-of-grid areas, isolated or islanded systems, and remote/very remote areas
(mining sites) are likely to experience reliability and power quality issues.
• Voltage fluctuations are the major issues with the integration of renewable energy
• The randomness of large loads (such as in mining) and their co-incident
simultaneous operation. The demand cycle of the multiple loads might have a
very large short term power variation incidentally.
• Steep ramps due to large PV penetration: Lower base load and relatively
unchanged peak demand (utilities would need to increase or decrease baseload
generation capacity )
• Demand is unpredictable, generation used to be predictable (!) to meet demand
• Renewable energy generation is unpredictable
• Australian Network:
• It is weak, long and thin (rural farming and community loads)
• It has limited import/export opportunities (between the states)
• It has large load variations (associated with heat waves, or mining loads, or faults)
• Battery storage systems can respond very fast in grids with low power system inertia
(P for f and Q for V)
• Issues In Australia:
• Fringe-of-grid areas, isolated or islanded systems, and remote/very remote areas can
accommodate battery storage and also quickly respond to power quality issues.
• Voltage fluctuations can be controlled by controlling Q (in 4-quadrant drives)
• Large short term power variations can be provided from battery storage
• Steep ramps due to large PV penetration: localised/distributed baseload generation

• It is predicted that (by Navigant Research) 11 GW of energy
storage capacity will be installed annually by 2020 in
22 countries (1/3 is in Asia and Oceania)
• Predicted growth of battery utilisation in vehicles
(mainly busses): 11 GWh in 2015 to 500 GWh in 2025.
• Greater opportunities in islands, remote area
applications, and in utility, industry and domestic scale
battery storage applications in Australia and in Asia.
• Diverse skills, knowledge and design requirements in
every application, including communication, control,
safety, protection, programming, IoT, and high power
density and high efficiency conversion efficiency
• Data collection and analysis of BSS components
• Optimisation of BSS for dispatchibility of wind farms

Australian Energy Storage Knowledge Bank (AESKB)
ARENA Project/University of Adelaide
The aim is to “accelerate growth of energy storage industry in
Australia by real tests on system components and applications,
knowledge sharing and training”.
It will have a central repository to include case studies, trial / test
data, network performance outcomes, storage system level,
environmental data, battery level data, link with other databases /
projects around Australia and the world, reports, research
publications.
It will have a mobile system with standard termination arrangements
for interconnecting cables from battery, smaller distributed
controllers facilitate customisation at BMS interface, access to
software by the university facilitates delivery of custom interfaces at
the BMS interface, and Internet of Things controller architecture.
• It is an extended version of a modern energy storage system
• It can be a nanogrid
• It is a smart grid ready system
• It can be used in future DC powered houses
• It can be used as an electric vehicle charging system testing

Web Site Summary
EES’10 #24
Figure shows the improvement in wind power dispatch with battery energy storage
relative to no energy storage by plotting the probability of power dispatched to the
grid equalling or exceeding the reference signal representing target base load
power.
Over the target base load power range from 0.10 pu to 0.60pu, the probability of
power dispatched to the grid equalling or exceeding the reference signal is between
15% and 25% higher with a utility scale battery than with no energy storage.
• Magnitude of improvements depends on the battery specs
• Battery power can only substitute for a fraction of the power generated by a
commercial wind farm.

Battery Safety Standards
There are no mandatory requirements for lithium battery
safety testing !
Since product safety is important, certifications are a means
of demonstrating product safety as raising brand image and
liability.
Standards primarily include abuse tests, transport and
recycling …..
