Distributed Control of Battery Energy Storage System in a Microgrid

Due to the high penetration of renewable power system with variable generation profiles, the need for flexible demand and flexible energy storage increases. In this paper, a hierarchical energy dispatch scheme incorporating energy storage system is presented to address the uncontrollability of renewable power generation. Statistical-based forecasting techniques are preformed and compared in order to accurately predict solar radiance and estimate solar power generation. Battery energy storage system (BESS) is often deployed as a flexible power supplier to reduce the peak power, emissions and cost. This paper elaborates a multiagent system (MAS) based distributed algorithm to investigate an energy dispatch scheme for BESS, based on the renewable energy forecasting results. A 24-hour prescheduled energy dispatch scheme is assigned to individual BESSs based on IEEE 5-bus system and IEEE 14-bus system. Simulation results are shown to demonstrate the feasibility and scalability of the algorithm.
