The purpose of this study is to consider a passive balancing system for battery storage which in the future will increase their reliability, reduce maintenance costs, reduce wear and tear and increase service life, as well as to study a new method of quasi-opposition search for harmony in order to stabilize the supplied electricity. To this end, various theoretical methods of scientific study (analysis, concretization, comparison, generalization) were applied. The method considered in this article for improving the performance of batteries using a passive balancing system, using the example of a typical structural diagram of an autonomous hybrid power plant presented here, would increase the efficiency of pre-project work on the development of highly efficient design and circuit solutions and increase the battery life. The new method of quasi-opposition searches for harmony for hybrid power plants based on renewable and traditional energy sources, taking into account features of their design and operation, would make it possible to stabilize the load frequency of the consumer at the time of switching the station between power sources. This study can be useful for the circle of people associated with energy, for students studying renewable energy in higher education institutions, as well as their teachers, in order to familiarize themselves with the problems of hybrid stations and find options for their solutions.

This study focused on the fatigue and corrosion fatigue of maraging steel 18Ni (250). The 18Ni (250) samples were tested for axial fatigue in air and 3.5% NaCl solution. The effects of loading frequency and stress ratio on the fatigue strength of 18Ni (250) were studied. In air, the loading frequency was 10 Hz, and the stress ratio was 0.5. However, three loading methods were used in the 3.5% NaCl solution: (i) the loading frequency of 1 Hz and stress ratio of 0.5; (ii) the loading frequency of 1 Hz and stress ratio 0.1, and (iii) the loading frequency 5 Hz and stress ratio 0.5. The corrosion fatigue strength of samples in the 3.5% NaCl solution was 63.3% lower than that of the samples in air. The fractures in the samples were observed after the test.
