TL;DR: A scenario in which individual home-owners, businesses, or sites at remote locations with no grid electricity, can capture solar energy, store it as hydrogen generated via water electrolysis, or as electrical energy used to charge storage batteries, provides a home refueling option for drivers who only travel limited distances each day.

TL;DR: In this paper, a control strategy for the energy management of a grid-connected microgrid with local distributed energy resources such as: 10kW photovoltaic plant, 11kW wind turbine, and 15kW-190kWh vanadium-based electric storage system is presented.
Abstract: This paper presents the design of a control strategy for the energy management of a grid-connected microgrid with local distributed energy resources as: 10-kW photovoltaic plant, 11-kW wind turbine, and 15-kW-190-kWh vanadium-based electric storage system. According to future regulations, the renewable energy producers will also have to provide a day-ahead hourly production plan. The overall idea is, by knowing the meteorological forecasts for the next 24 h, to dispatch the microgrid in order to be able to grant the scheduled hourly production by means of proper management of the storage system. The usage of the storage system is, however, minimized by the energy management strategy. The system design is validated by experimental testing carried out in SYSLAB, a distributed power system test facility at Riso Campus, Technical University of Denmark.

02 Dec 2008TL;DR: In this article, a system and a method for controlling a vehicle-based source of uninterruptable power is presented, which includes an energy storage system located onboard a vehicle and configured to generate DC power transferable to an external load, and an DC-AC inverter connected to the on-board EH storage system to receive the DC power therefrom and invert the power to an AC power useable by the external load.
Abstract: A system and method for controlling a vehicle-based source of uninterruptable power is disclosed. The vehicle-based UPS includes an energy storage system located on-board a vehicle and configured to generate DC power transferable to an external load, and an DC-AC inverter connected to the on-board energy storage system to receive the DC power therefrom and invert the DC power to an AC power useable by the external load. The vehicle-based UPS also includes a charging device located on-board the vehicle and connected to the on-board energy storage system to provide recharging power thereto and a control system. The control system is configured to determine one of a state-of-charge (SOC) and a voltage of the energy storage system and selectively operate the charging device to provide the recharging power to the energy storage system to maintain the SOC or voltage of the energy storage system within a pre-determined range.
