Advanced energy management control for Energy Storage System

An energy management controller based on multiple charge/discharge profiles is proposed and analysed for an energy storage system. Each profile is designed to use the available energy more aggressively in different power regions, including the low or the high power regions, or both regions to minimise the rate-of-change of power source output. The performance of the energy storage system with the profiles is examined by simulation when connected to an aircraft 540V DC bus with a fault-tolerant starter/generator and high power, pulsed loads.
