The effect of including power converter losses when modelling energy storage systems: a UK domestic study (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Panagiotou, K., Klumpner, C., & Sumner, M. (2016). The effect of including power converter losses when modelling energy storage systems: a UK domestic study.

Energy storage systems (ESS) are seen as an increasingly important technology for managing electrical distribution systems, and there is now much research into both the underlying technologies of these systems, and their “optimum” management especial...
