Development of a Simulation Model for an Electric Energy Storage Unit for a Simulation of Power Plant

Abstract

The article presents a model of a power plant based on renewable energy sources with a detailed description of the creation of an electric energy storage model in Matlab Simulink, demonstrating functional components and simulation models. The power complex includes in itself the wind generator and the module of solar panels and also a rechargeable battery in view of inconstancy of wind-solar energy. A rechargeable battery is an excellent solution for regulating and storing wind and solar energy, which is unstable by its very nature. The description of development of the simulation model ends with an analysis of its potential. The model showed sufficient energy conversion efficiency along with high accuracy built-in components and stable repeatability of simulation model results.
