| Popis: | The popularity of electric springs (ESs) has been grown in the last years mainly due to the boost in the growth of smart grids (SGs) and micro-grids (μGs), as well as the high penetration of renewable energy sources. In general, ESs have a hardware structure similar to other compensator devices such as distributed flexible AC transmission systems or active filters. ESs offer the exchange of active and reactive powers with the electrical grid and the demand-side load management. Their ability to simultaneously perform multiple tasks without the need of modifying their hardware structure classifies them as smart loads, distinguishing them from other types of compensators such as active filters, hybrid filters, dynamic voltage restorers, and distribution static VAR compensators, among others. In this work, an exhaustive review of ESs is carried out to cover their three main research trends, i.e. hardware structure evolution, different types of controllers, and applications in electric power distribution systems, SGs, and μGs. Moreover, their main advantages, disadvantages, and contributions in the power quality improvement are discussed. This review clarifies future research trends that have to be explored to advance the subject. |
