Renewable energy resources (RES) are becoming more popular for electricity generation due to their easy installation, flexibility, low cost, environmental compatibility, etc. However, their fluctuating nature is a major drawback, which decreases the power quality and makes them less trusty in the power system. To mitigate this problem, battery energy storage (BES) has been widely used with renewable energy sources. Because batteries are designed to handle “steady fluctuations” of power, the “sudden and peak” fluctuating power levels of renewable energy sources may cause shorter life spans for them, which may cause dramatic economic loss or negatively impact the power quality. Also, even though batteries have been used as a backup for RES, high power quality cannot be guaranteed when there is a rapid and peak fluctuations on source/load.
