Load Frequency Control Using Demand Response and Storage Battery by Considering Renewable Energy Sources

Abstract

Renewable energy sources (RESs), as clean, abundant, and inexhaustible source of energy, have developed quickly in recent years and played more and more important roles around the world. However, RESs also have some disadvantages, such as the weakness of stability, and by the the estimated increase of utilizing RESs in the near future, researchers began to give more attention to these issues. This paper presents a novel output power fluctuate compensation scheme in the small-scale power system, verifying the effect of output power control using storage battery, demand response and RESs. Four scenarios are considered in the proposed approach: real-time pricing demand response employment, RESs output control use and both of demand response and RESs output control implementation. The performance of the proposed control technique is investigated using the real 10-bus power system model of Okinawa island, Japan. Moreover, the system stability is checked using the pole-zero maps for all of the control loops associated with the proposed scheme. The robustness and effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by simulation using Matlab®/Simulink®.
