Optimization of Battery Energy Storage to Improve Power System Oscillation Damping
A placement problem for multiple Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) units
is formulated towards power system transient voltage stability enhancement in
this paper. The problem is solved by the Cross-Entropy (CE) optimization
method. A simulation-based approach is adopted to incorporate higher-order
dynamics and nonlinearities of generators and loads. The objective is to
maximize the voltage stability index, which is setup based on certain
grid-codes. Formulations of the optimization problem are then discussed.
Finally, the proposed approach is implemented in MATLAB/DIgSILENT and tested on
the New England 39-Bus system. Results indicate that installing BESS units at
the optimized location can alleviate transient voltage instability issue
compared with the original system with no BESS. The CE placement algorithm is
also compared with the classic PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) method, and
its superiority is demonstrated in terms of a faster convergence rate with
matched solution qualities.Comment: This paper has been accepted by IEEE Transactions on Sustainable
