2. Background of Standard Development
(1)Energy storage systems have outstanding advantages such as fast response speed, bidirectional energy flow, and flexible application, making them an effective way to solve the consumption of renewable energy, enhance grid flexibility, and improve grid utilization efficiency, playing a crucial role in the new power system dominated by renewable energy.
(2)The scale of energy storage operation in China is increasing year by year, and the grid-connected performance of energy storage systems, including low and high voltage ride-through and grid adaptability, seriously affects the safe operation of energy storage, necessitating verification of grid-connected performance.
(3)Verification of the grid-connected performance of energy storage systems includes both on-site tests and type tests. On-site tests are challenging, have limited operating conditions, and can yield less data information, with high costs and time requirements; type tests may have inconsistencies between the controller software version and the on-site operation.
(4)Hardware-in-the-loop testing excels over on-site and type tests in simulating grid connection conditions and controller software versions, making it suitable for verifying and modeling the grid-connected performance of energy storage inverters. However, there is currently no relevant standard for hardware-in-the-loop testing of energy storage inverters, making the establishment of this group standard necessary and urgent.
