Energy storage system in smart homes of smart city

Abstract

The Nanogrid utilizes renewable energy sources, e.g. Solar PV, Wind, etc; which are stochastic in nature. Due to this nature, power reliability is the main issue. To increase the reliability of the power supply and proper utilization of the available resources, Nanogrid should either connected to the utility grid directly or it must have the proper energy storage system. Energy storage system fills the gap between consumers demand and renewable power generation; which is very important issue in technical and economical consideration. The Nanogrid gives new hope of ray to the people living in off grid areas. By using energy storage system we can increase their living standard and enhance socio-economical development. This paper proposes the selection of the proper energy storage device and its calculation, control strategy also suggested for protecting storage device from over voltage and deep discharge.
