Feasibility study and application of electric energy storage systems embedded in HVDC and STATCOM systems

Electrical power systems are currently experiencing significant changes across all levels of generation, transmission, distribution, and demand. One of the major transitions involves the increasing penetration of renewable energy systems, energy storage assets, and advanced technologies such as Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links. Concurrently, there is a gradual phase-out of conventional synchronous generation (SG). These changes are transforming the power network into a power-electronics-dominated system. Future electrical transmission grids, characterized by these fundamental changes, require the development of new transmission assets with enhanced capabilities to manage the variability and uncertainty introduced by renewable energy sources.
