A Receding Horizon Control Approach For Re-Dispatching Stochastic Heterogeneous Resources Accounting for Grid and Battery Losses

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Emil Namor, Eleni Stai

In this paper, we propose a re-dispatch scheme for radial distribution grids hosting stochastic Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and controllable batteries. At each re-dispatch round, the proposed scheme computes a new dispatch plan that modifies and ex ...

An ADMM-Based Coordination and Control Strategy for PV and Storage to Dispatch Stochastic Prosumers: Theory and Experimental Validation

Mario Paolone, Colin Neil Jones, Fabrizio Sossan, Rahul Kumar Gupta, Emil Namor, Enrica Scolari, Luca Fabietti

This paper describes a two-layer control and coordination framework for distributed energy resources. The lower layer is a real-time model predictive control (MPC) executed at 10 s resolution to achieve fine tuning of a given energy setpoint. The upper lay ...

Quantification of Primary Frequency Control Provision from Battery Energy Storage Systems Connected to Active Distribution Networks

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Emil Namor, Giacomo Piero Schiapparelli

In this paper, we consider the provision of primary frequency control by using battery energy storage systems (BESSs). In particular, we use a standard droop-based frequency control for a BESS where the control action (i.e. the BESS power output) consists ...

Enhancing the dispatchability of distribution networks through utility-scale batteries and flexible demand

Mario Paolone, Colin Neil Jones, Fabrizio Sossan, Emil Namor, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Luca Fabietti

In this paper, the problem of dispatching the operation of a distribution feeder comprising a set of heterogeneous resources is investigated. The main objective is to track a power trajectory, called the dispatch plan, which is computed the day before the ...

Advanced models and algorithms to provide multiple grid services with battery storage systems

Emil Namor

Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are expected to play a major role in the power grid of the near future. These devices, capable of storing and returning electrical energy, are valuable assets to a grid that integrates more and more distributed, inter ...

Control of Battery Storage Systems for the Simultaneous Provision of Multiple Services

Mario Paolone, Emil Namor, Fabrizio Sossan

In this paper, we propose a control framework for a battery energy storage system to provide simultaneously multiple services to the electrical grid. The objective is to maximise the battery exploitation from these services in the presence of uncertainty ( ...

Experimental Assessment of the Prediction Performance of Dynamic Equivalent Circuit Models of Grid-connected Battery Energy Storage Systems

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Emil Namor, Enrica Scolari

The paper discusses the model identification, validation and experimental testing of current-to-voltage dynamic circuit models for a grid-connected MW-class battery. The model refers to an utility-scale 720 kVA/560 kWh battery energy storage system (BESS) ...

Battery Storage System Optimal Exploitation Through Physics-Based Model Predictive Control

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Emil Namor, Dimitri Torregrossa

Traditionally, the safe operation of a battery energy storage system (BESS) is achieved by imposing conservative constraints on its DC bus current and voltage. By using a computationally efficient single particle model (SPM), we propose to replace these co ...

Dispatching active distribution networks through electrochemical storage systems and demand side management

Mario Paolone, Colin Neil Jones, Fabrizio Sossan, Emil Namor, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Luca Fabietti

In this paper, the problem of dispatching the operation of a distribution feeder comprising a set of heterogeneous resources is investigated. In particular, the main objective is to track a 5-minute resolution trajectory, called the \textit{dispatch plan} ...

Parameter identification of a lithium-ion cell single-particle model through non-invasive testing

Mario Paolone, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Emil Namor, Dimitri Torregrossa

Physics-based models of electrochemical cells are of great interest for the future battery management systems (BMSs), due to their accuracy and capability to predict cell physical states. One of their main disadvantages, when compared to equivalent circuit ...
