Abstract

Intermittent renewable energy sources are being increasingly integrated into modern power networks. This leads to severe frequency fluctuations in the networks. Energy storage systems can be used for frequency restoration due to their capability to provide in-time active power compensations. This paper examines the frequency control problem for power systems with multiple distributed battery energy storage systems (BESSs). A dual-consensus-based approach is presented for distributed frequency control. It consists of three main components: 1) tuning of the BESS control gain; 2) design of control signals as inputs to BESSs for proportional use of the preserved energy; and 3) estimation of BESS parameters for control implementation. A static parameter and a time-varying parameter are defined, and their average values are estimated through static average consensus (SAC) and dynamic average consensus (DAC) algorithms, respectively. Case studies are conducted to demonstrate our dual-consensus control approach.
