Hierarchical Control of Hybrid Energy Storage System in DC Microgrids

Hybridization of energy storages (ESs) with different characteristics takes advantages of all ESs. Centralized control with high-/low-pass filter (LPF) for system net power decomposition and ESs' power dispatch is usually implemented in hybrid ES system (HESS). In this paper, hierarchical control of HESS, composed of both centralized and distributed control, is proposed to enhance system reliability. The conventional HESS centralized control is refined with implementations of online iteration, secondary voltage regulation, and autonomous state-of-charge (SoC) recovery. ESs' power references are iteratively generated to maximize the utilization of ES ramp rates and power capacities. Secondary voltage regulation and autonomous SoC recovery are applied to minimize bus voltage deviation and limit slack terminal SoC variation, respectively. In case of communication failure, a novel algorithm for HESS distributed control is proposed to retain system operation. Bus voltage is regarded as the global indicator for system power balance, and droop relationships are imposed for ES control. System net power decomposition and ESs' power dispatch are realized with localized LPFs. SoC recovery in distributed control is implemented by tuning the threshold voltage of a slack terminal. A laboratory-scale dc microgrid is developed to verify the proposed hierarchical control of HESS.
