Design of passive power filters for battery energy storage system in grid connected and islanded modes

Abstract

This study presents an improved method to design passive power filters for a battery energy storage system operating in grid connected and islanded modes. The studied system includes appropriate controls according to the selected mode. The global system is composed of two power converters a DC–DC converter and a three phase four wires DC–AC converter. The passive power filters to be designed are the battery inductance, the neutral filter and the LCL filter. Conventionally filter design methods are performed considering only one operating mode parameters. This paper proposes an analysis of the design approaches reported in the literature for each mode separately and then provides a step by step design procedure taking into account constraints of each operation mode. The design is performed based on steady state equations for each mode. An overall system simulation with PSIM software has been developed. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the investigated filter design.
