These may include overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and short-circuit protection, among others. Hybrid BESS combine the features of on-grid and off-grid systems, allowing them to operate both connected to the main grid and in islanded mode (disconnected from the grid).
Standalone gas turbines have the ability to meet a variety of grid objectives; however, hybridizing with a BESS can potentially provide those services more eficiently with faster response to grid needs. The hybrid system can ofer several services while the gas turbine is ofline, opening new market participation opening new market opportunities.
The currently effective 15-min-criterion requires hybrid BESSs to reserve an energy capacity of 15 min or 0.25 MWh for each MW FCR power ready to discharge. Given the total energy capacity of 0.5 h in sub-scenario B, the operating range therein is the difference between reserve and capacity, 0.25 MWh.
However, this study at hand principally showed that hybrid BESSs contribute to better environmental performance due to the reduction of battery capacities and to a differing extent in the operational stage depending on the energy sink considered. 4.2. Economic assessment
The PCS in a hybrid system must be capable of both grid-following and grid-forming operation, working in tandem with a Source Transfer Switch (STS) to enable automatic switching between grid-connected and off-grid modes. Each type of BESS and PCS serves a unique purpose, ranging from grid stabilization to off-grid power supply.
Regarding the hybrid BESSs (base scenarios 2 and 3), the focus is to address the potential of sector coupling from an environmental and economic perspective, including heat and hydrogen generation during FCR provision.
