Battery storage power station

A battery storage power station is a type of energy storage power station that uses a group of batteries to store electrical energy. Battery storage is the fastest responding dispatchable source of power on electric grids, and it is used to stabilise those grids, as battery storage can transition from standby to full power in under a second to deal with grid contingencies. Battery storage power stations are generally designed to be able to output at their full rated power for several hours. Battery storage can be used for short-term peak power and ancillary services, such as providing operating reserve and frequency control to minimize the chance of power outages. They are often installed at, or close to, other active or disused power stations and may share the same grid connection to reduce costs. Since battery storage plants require no deliveries of fuel, are compact compared to generating stations and have no chimneys or large cooling systems, they can be rapidly installed and pl

Real-time Control of Battery Energy Storage Systems to Provide Ancillary Services Considering Voltage-Dependent Capability of DC-AC Converters

Mario Paolone, Zhao Yuan, Antonio Zecchino

Frequency response and voltage support are vital ancillary services for power grids. In this paper, we design and experimentally validate a real-time control framework for battery energy storage systems (BESSs) to provide ancillary services to power grids. The objective of the control system is to utilize the full capability of the BESSs to provide ancillary services. We take the voltage-dependent capability curve of the DC-AC converter and the security requirements of BESSs as constraints of the control system. The initial power set-points are obtained based on the droop control approach. To guarantee the feasibility of the power set-points with respect to both the converter capability and BESS security constraints, the final power set-points calculation is formulated as a nonconvex optimization problem. A convex and computationally efficient reformulation of the original control problem is then proposed. We prove that the proposed convex optimization gives the global optimal solution to the original nonconvex problem. We improve the computational performance of this algorithm by discretizing the feasible region of the optimization model. We achieve a 100 ms update time of the controller setpoint computation in the experimental validation of the utility-scale 720 kVA / 560 kWh BESS on the EPFL campus.

A VSC-Based BESS Model for Multi-Objective OPF Using Mixed Integer SOCP

Xiaoying Tang, Tong Wu

This paper presents a new model of voltage source converter (VSC)-based battery energy storage systems (BESSs) that interface with power grids. A VSC-based BESS is made up of a series connection of a VSC, its connecting transformer and a BESS. The VSC allows a BESS to generate both active and reactive powers in all four quadrants. The proposed model captures the coupling between active power, reactive power and the voltage of a BESS. In addition, the proposed model explicitly describes the relationship between the control configuration of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)-VSC and the power output of the BESS. Therefore, the proposed model possesses unparalleled control capabilities in the operational parameters of both the AC and DC sides of the converter. By incorporating such a model into the active- reactive optimal power flow ( A-R-OPF) formulation, we can not only optimize the active and reactive power output of the BESS in power systems, but also understand how the optimal powers are generated by setting the operational parameters of both the BESS and PWM-VSC. To solve the A-R-OPF problem with the proposed model, we propose a sequence of strong relaxations to transform the problem into a mixed-integer second order cone programming (SOCP) problem. Such a formulation is amendable for efficient solutions using off-the-shelf solvers. Case studies on the IEEE benchmark systems show that more than 17.73% of power losses in transmission lines and more than 0.961% of interface losses can be reduced by using the proposed model in comparison to the traditional BESS model.

Optimal provision of concurrent primary frequency and local voltage control from a BESS considering variable capability curves: Modelling and experimental assessment

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Zhao Yuan, Antonio Zecchino

This paper proposes a control method for battery energy storage systems (BESSs) to provide concurrent primary frequency and local voltage regulation services. The actual variable active and reactive power capability of the converter, along with the state-of-charge of the BESS, are jointly considered by the optimal operating point calculation process within the real-time operation. The controller optimizes the provision of grid services, considering the measured grid and battery statuses and predicting the battery DC voltage as a function of the current trajectory using a three-time-constant model (TTC). A computationally-efficient algorithm is proposed to solve the formulated optimal control problem. Experimental tests validate the proposed concepts and show the effectiveness of the employed control framework on a commercial utility-scale 720 kVA/560 kWh BESS.
