*Conclusion
*
* Energy storage on the electric power system is becoming an
increasingly important tool in
* Managing the integration of large-scale, intermittent solar and
wind generation.
* Shaping the load curve (Peak shaving and valley filling)
* Smart Grid designs that call for additional distribution automation
and sophistication such as islanding.
* Energy storage in the automotive industry is also becoming
important due to the proliferation of Hybrid-Electric and PureElectric Vehicles.
* There are many types of batteries, each of which has
advantages and disadvantages:
* the Absorbed-Glass-Mat (AGM) battery - a type of Valve-
Regulated-Lead-Acid (VRLA) battery that is widely popular in
renewable energy storage systems due to its high performance
and maintenance-free requirement – is analyzed in this study.

* Rs: total resistance (copper and electrolytic) – dependent on
rate of discharge.
* Vs: equivalent voltage source –dependent on rate of discharge
and DOD (or SOC).
* Vs can be replaced by an equivalent capacitance Cs. The
relation between these two is: Vs  Vs ,o  It / C s

*A circuit model for an AGM Lead-acid battery was
developed for steady-state and transient conditions:
*The steady-state model (which consists of two dependent
circuit parameters) was derived from the discharge
curves provided by the manufacturer.
*The dynamic model was obtained by adding a capacitive
element across a portion of the series resistance, and the
parameter values were obtained from laboratory tests.
*The resulting circuit model is found to predict battery
performance under both constant as well as variable
current discharge with sufficient accuracy.
*The tests in this study were conducted indoors at room
temperature. Future work consists of upgrading the
circuit model by taking into account battery
temperature when operating outdoors.
