Voltage/Frequency Deviations Control via Distributed Battery Energy Storage System Considering State of Charge

Abstract

In recent years, the installation of distributed generation (DG) of renewable energies has grown rapidly. When the penetration of grid-integrated DGs are getting high, the voltage and frequency of the power system may cause deviation. We propose an algorithm that reduces voltage and frequency deviation by coordinating the control of multiple battery energy storage systems (BESSs). The proposed algorithm reduces the total number of charging and discharging times by calculating the sensitivity coefficient of BESS at different nodes and then selecting the appropriate BESSs to operate. The algorithm is validated on a typical distribution testing system. The results show that the voltage and frequency are controlled within the permissible range, the state of charge of BESSs are controlled within the normal range, and the total number of charging and discharging cycles of BESSs are reduced.
