Abstract

Fueled power systems using secondary energy storage are analyzed. A generic model of such systems is suggested, and an optimal power management strategy that maximizes efficiency is derived analytically. The model and optimal management solution emphasizes the constraint imposed by finite storage capacity. The optimal generated energy is established independently of the system's capacity, and load, and general characteristics of it are derived and proved. The analytic solution provides an intuitive comprehension into the optimal power management, without needing numeric simulations.
