During the 2024 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation, and Motion (SPEEDAM), held in Ischia, Italy from June 19-21, 2024, several research papers funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity Energy Storage Division were presented. These papers addressed critical challenges and advancements in grid energy storage solutions, battery state estimation, microgrid stability, and anomaly detection in lithium-ion battery cells. These researchers presenting on the DOE-funded work included:
- Dr. Raymond Byrne, Sandia National Laboratories Energy Storage Technology and Systems program manager, co-chaired two paper sessions and presented a paper on grid reliability and the role of energy storage.
- Dr. Rodrigo Trevizan, electrical engineer in the Sandia National Laboratories Energy Storage program, presented a paper that introduced a method for adaptive battery state estimation.
- Dr. Victoria O’Brien, electrical engineer in the Sandia National Laboratories Energy Storage program, compared online model-based anomaly detection methods. Read more about Dr. O’Brien’s presentation here.
- Dr. Valerio de Angelis, systems lead in the Sandia National Laboratories Power Electronics and Energy Conversion Systems department, presented a paper on a modular prototype of hybrid storage technologies for grid applications.
- Dr. Reinaldo Tonkoski, professor at the Technical University of Munich, presented papers co-authored by Sandians on integrated voltage and frequency support in microgrids and frequency security index-based state of health monitoring.
The presentations at the 2024 SPEEDAM conference provided valuable insights into the future of energy storage, microgrid stability, and battery management. The research papers highlighted advancements in solid-state transformers, battery state estimation, microgrid control, and anomaly detection, all of which are crucial for the development of reliable and efficient energy storage systems. These contributions have the potential to significantly impact the stability, reliability, and safety of future smart grids and microgrids, as well as the performance and lifespan of lithium-ion battery cells. The findings presented at the conference contribute to the ongoing efforts in advancing energy storage technologies and optimizing their integration into the electric grid.
In the 2024 SPEEDAM conference, researchers from 30 countries presented over 200 research papers divided in oral and poster sessions. The conference served as a platform for researchers and industry experts to exchange knowledge and foster collaborations in these critical areas.
