Abstract:
An energy storage system for renewable energy applications includes a renewable energy source, a bidirectional inverter connected an AC bus and a DC bus, an energy storage unit connected to the bidirectional DC/DC converter, and a control system comprising one or more controllers coupled to the bidirectional inverter and the bidirectional DC/DC converter. The bidirectional inverter is connected to the renewable energy source and a bidirectional DC/DC converter through the DC bus. The control system is configured to facilitate the operation of the bidirectional DC/DC converter and the bidirectional inverter. The energy storage system both stores energy from the renewable energy source and a utility grid, and also supplies power to the utility grid. The energy storage system is utilized in a method for supporting frequency regulation of a utility grid and a method for controlling an output power ramp rate for a renewable energy storage system.

Claim (Index 21):
The method of  claim 20 ,\n wherein the bidirectional inverter is a bidirectional PV inverter and the renewable energy source is a PV array, the bidirectional PV inverter comprising: one or more semiconductor switches, wherein gates of the semiconductor switches receive a plurality of switching pulses from the control system to convert DC power received from the PV array to AC power, or to convert AC power received through the AC bus to DC power.
