Modelling and Control of Wind Turbine and Battery Energy Storage System for Grid Integration

The benefits of renewable energy sources (RES) are undeniable, despite the fact that controlling their output power is complicated due to their intermittent nature. In this paper, a new set of analytical formulations has been proposed for simultaneous integration and control of wind turbine (WT) and battery energy storage system (BESS) considering the time-varying load models, and resources uncertainty. The objective functions of this method include smoothing the output power of the WT unit, balancing demand and generation, increasing WT shares as well as decreasing the automatic generation control (AGC) reserve capacity which is essential in the gird. In addition, the modification of BESS reference current is considered to prolong the BESS effective lifetime and guarantee the prevention of BESS from over-charge and discharge. The results show that simultaneous integration of WT and BESS in the grid will smooth WT output power, balance load and WT generation, thereby reducing AGC required capacity and increasing the hosting capacity of grids effectively.
