Abstract

In this paper, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) dynamic model is presented, which considers average models of both Voltage Source Converter (VSC) and bidirectional buck-boost converter (dc-to-dc), for charging and discharging modes of operation. The dynamic BESS model comprises a simplified representation of the battery cells, which allows to simulate the effects of battery degradation, dc-to-dc converter, VSC, and the dynamics associated with the filter and transformer connecting the BESS to the grid. A decoupled dq-current control is used for the VSC, allowing the operation of the BESS in several modes, i.e., constant active and reactive power, constant power factor, voltage regulation, frequency regulation, oscillation damping, and a combination of the latter two. The proposed model is implemented in DSATools and tested for different contingencies on a benchmark system, and compared with a industry-grade BESS model used in power system dynamic studies. The importance of modeling the current control and dynamics of the dc-to-dc are demonstrated, especially when the battery cells are degraded due to, for instance, aging.
