Design of minimum cost degradation-conscious lithium-ion battery energy storage system to achieve renewable power dispatchability

The application of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery energy storage system (BESS) to achieve the dispatchability of a renewable power plant is examined. By taking into consideration the effects of battery cell degradation evaluated using electrochemical principles, a power flow model (PFM) of the BESS is developed specifically for use in system-level study. The PFM allows the long-term performance and lifetime of the battery be predicted as when the...
