Abstract

Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) have the potential to offer better flexibility to a grid than any single energy storage solution. However, sizing a HESS is challenging, as the required capacity, power and ramp rates for a given application are difficult to derive. This paper proposes a method for splitting a given load profile into several storage technology independent sub-profiles, such that each of the sub-profiles leads to its own requirements. This method can be used to gain preliminary insight into HESS requirements before a choice is made for specific storage technologies. To test the method, a household case is investigated using the derived methodology, and storage requirements are found, which can then be used to derive concrete storage technologies for the HESS of the household. Adding a HESS to the household case reduces the maximum import power from the connected grid by approximately 7000 W and the maximum exported power to the connected grid by approximately 1000 W. It is concluded that the method is particularly suitable for data sets with a high granularity and many data points.
