Abstract

Battery energy storage system (BESS) is being widely integrated with wind power systems to provide various ancillary services including automatic generation control (AGC) performance improvement. For AGC performance studies, it is crucial to accurately describe BESS’s power regulation behavior and provide a correct state of charge (SOC). In addition, BESS model is required to maintain a sufficiently high simulation speed, since it usually is involved in hour- or day-scale simulations. Different from existing models, this paper develops a new BESS model which considers DC-AC converter control, DC link circuit and switching loss, thus providing an accurate power regulation behavior. In addition, it also considers the nonlinear relationship between open-circuit voltage and SOC of battery so that it provides a correct SOC. As a whole, the BESS is simplified as a controlled current source with fundamental frequency (50/60 Hz) and described by algebraic phasor equations to reduce computational burden. This makes the proposed model capable of finishing hour- or day-scale simulations within a few minutes. Time-domain simulations are used to validate and compare the simulation accuracy with the classical first-order transfer function model and electromagnetic model. Based on the proposed model, this paper also introduces and verifies a new BESS-based strategy to improve the AGC performance of wind farms.
