Investigation of Energy Storage Batteries in Stability Enforcement of Low Inertia Active Distribution Network

Abstract

The inherent intermittency of renewable power generation poses one of the great challenges to the future smart grid. With incentives and subsidies, the penetration level of small-scale renewable energy into power grids is sharply increasing worldwide. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are used to curtail the extra power during low demand times. These energy storage systems are capable of absorbing and delivering real power to the grid. The increased penetration level of inverter-based distributed generation (DG) reduces the inertia of the grid and thus affects the transient stability of the network. This paper discusses and investigates the impact of BESS on distribution networks' stability with high penetration levels of inverter based DG. The obtained results show that proper charging and discharging schemes of the BESS can enhance the transient stability of the network. Fast switching between charging and discharging mode would be helpful during transient fault disturbance to keep the system in a balanced condition.

Dynamic Stability of Wind Power Flow and Network Frequency for a High Penetration Wind-Based Energy Storage System Using Fuzzy Logic Controller

“…To regulate the network frequency, an instantaneous level of active power must be generated and consumed by the loads. To maintain the desired level of wind power flow in the network, the SL absorbs the active power that the BESS cannot store due to its capacity limitations [27,29,[38][39][40]. In this situation, P T > P L , when P S > 0.…”

“…The principle of the frequency control scheme for a WDHPS system and the method of power sharing between the BESS and SL are represented in Figure 6a,b, respectively. Here, the three-phase Phase Locked Loop (PLL) collects the error of frequency (which is the difference between the reference frequency of 60 Hz and the actual network frequency); and supplies the P ref to confirm the power-sharing priority between the BESS and SL [38]. This is done by using a logical algorithm.…”

“…More and more demands for renewable energy bring about extensive attention to the large-scale energy storage systems. [1][2][3] Among them, all vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) shows superiority by reason of its long cycling life, deep discharge, high-energy efficiency, and mutual independence of power and energy ratings. [4][5][6] In spite of the aforementioned advantages, the important issues with respect to discharge capacity of the battery, 7,8 output power, and the efficiencies 9 are still existing.…”
