Abstract: Wind, as well as photovoltaic (PV), is widely used. Like loads, its power cannot be predicted, which results in the grid having to bear the power imbalance between wind-PV and loads, and substantial power fluctuations are not tolerated. Hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) containing multiple storage methods are considered effective solutions. In this paper, pumped storage and lithium-ion battery storage are fully considered, as they are supposed to have excellent performance and are highly complementary. We categorize the power imbalance into low, medium, and high according to the magnitude of the power imbalance. When the power fluctuation is low, the battery dominates. In contrast, the pumped storage dominates when the power fluctuation is high. Most importantly, when the power fluctuation is medium, we utilize an optimized first-order low-pass filter to allocate the power between the pumped storage and the lithium-ion battery. We change the filtering time in real-time according to the battery’s state of charge (SOC) to reasonably allocate the power between the pumped storage and the lithium-ion battery and ensure the SOC fluctuates within a reasonable range. This paper confirms the feasibility of the proposed strategy, where the pumped storage power fluctuates very little, in contrast, the battery power fluctuates significantly, and the SOC is always within the set reasonable range. Most importantly, the strategy proposed in this paper is straightforward to implement, which is crucial for engineering applications.
