Funded Activity Summary

Control of Distributed Energy Storage System using Vanadium Batteries. This project aims to develop a new control approach to distributed energy storage at stack, system and microgrid levels, utilising one of the most promising flow battery technologies - vanadium redox batteries. This is the first attempt of a storage centric approach that includes: an integrated approach to design and control of vanadium flow batteries with novel advanced power electronics technologies to achieve optimal charging/discharging conditions; and, a scalable distributed energy storage and power management approach incorporating energy pricing for storage dispatch that allows distributed autonomous controllers to achieve optimal local techno-economic performance and microgrid-wide efficiency and reliability.
