Sodium Sulfur battery energy storage peak shaving power quality
This paper presents the evaluation of the sodium-sulfur battery technology in energy storage and power quality applications. The evaluation of this technology in the USA was first performed at the Dolan Technology Center of American Electric Power, Columbus, Ohio. In the first phase of the research, extensive testing and analyses were performed on a sample module to understand the internal characteristics and dynamics of the battery, and then performance drivers were defined. A demonstration project that combines nominal rating of 500kW for 30 seconds of power quality mitigation and up to 750kWh of peak shaving capacity at a maximum power of 100kW was installed in September 2003 at one of AEP’s Office Buildings in Gahanna, Ohio. Evaluation so far has shown that the sodium sulfur batteries can solve variety of power quality problems and provide economical energy storage for a wide range of power system and energy management applications. AEP and the project partners are continuing to monitor and evaluate the system.
