Effect of battery energy storage system on load frequency control considering governor deadband and generation rate constraint

Abstract

Since a battery energy storage system (BES) can provide fast active power compensation, it also can be used to improve the performance of load-frequency control. In this paper a new incremental model of a BES is presented and merged into the load-frequency control of a power system. A comprehensive digital computer model of a two-area interconnected power system including governor deadband and generation rate constraint is employed for a realistic response. Computer simulations show that the BES is very effective in damping the oscillations caused by load disturbances. The BES model is suitable for charging mode and discharging mode operations. Optimization of controller gains is obtained by the second method of Lyapunov.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
