Evaluation of ancillary services in distribution grid using large‐scale battery energy storage systems

Abstract

Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are being presented as a prominent solution to the various imminent issues associated with the integration of variable renewable energy sources in the distribution system. Performance of grid‐connected BESS depends on the type of application (power and energy), grid operating parameters and level of interconnection point, which shows the necessity of benefit assessment of BESS technology and its applications in terms of economic and grid operations before investment at a larger scale. In this study, real‐time analysis and evaluation of two different battery technologies connected in a medium voltage (MV) distribution system are carried out. The main objective of this paper is focused on the impact analysis of large‐scale BESS on MV distribution feeder. A real case of installation of lithium‐ion and advanced lead‐acid battery systems into the Indian distribution system has been considered for this study. Different operational strategies of BESS such as frequency regulation and energy time‐shift have been performed with real‐time data. The effectiveness in usage of BESS with these functionalities has been verified in terms of peak shaving, improvement in voltage profile and reduction in power losses in the feeder.

Cloud Energy Storage Based Embedded Battery Technology Architecture for Residential Users Cost Minimization

“…Cloud energy storage gives prosumers additional flexibility in terms of reducing demand peaks. Individual prosumers' total energy cost EC CES is calculated as follows: (18). The system with a storage investment cost I CES is provided by (19).…”

“…The various applications of storage system include to control the power generation by distributed energy resource (DER) and on-site and off-site power generation [14]- [17]. In the high penetration RE scenario, the energy storage system can provide an ancillary services for maintaining not only the frequency but also the voltage with in specified range for reliable power supply due to their intermittency nature [18], [19]. Battery technology is one of the reliable technology among the several storage technologies due to their inherent maturity.…”

Aging aware adaptive control of Li-ion battery energy storage system for flexibility services provision

“…Inverter-based BESSs can be seen as ideal flexibility services providers due to their potential and versatility in providing multiple active (P) and reactive power (Q) related flexibility services for different DSO and TSO needs like, for example, for voltage and frequency control, black start, islanding, load leveling and peak shaving [5,6]. Thereby, BESSs are very useful for bridging gap between non-concurrent RESbased power generation and demand at different voltage (U) levels of the power system.…”

Techno-Economic Feasibility of Grid-Scale Solar Photo-Voltaic Energy Storage System (GSPV-ESS) Hybrids for Daily Peak Power Shaving in Assam, India

“…This complication is simplified by developing grid-scale energy storage hybrid systems. These hybrid energy storage systems are discharged when the peak load occurs [3]. Moreover, energy storage systems associated with solar photo-voltaic systems, allow the ESS to charge during peak sunshine hours, adding to the overall savings in energy costs on the generation, transmission and distribution side [4].…”
