Capacity determination of a battery energy storage system based on the control performance of load leveling and voltage control

AbstractThis paper proposes a method to determine the combined energy (kWh) and power (kW) capacity of a battery energy storage system and power conditioning system capacity (kVA) based on load leveling and voltage control performances. Through power flow calculations, a relationship between the capacity combination and the control performance is identified and evaluated. A tradeoff relationship between the capacity combination and control performance is confirmed, and the proper capacity combination for operation is determined based on the evaluated relationship. In addition, the control performance of the capacity combination is evaluated through the power flow calculation, confirming that the proposed method is effective for determining the optimized capacity combination.
