Abstract-This paper describes the modeling and formulation of a variety of deterministic techniques for energy storage devices, namely the PI, H-infinity and sliding mode controllers. These techniques are defined based on a general, yet detailed, energy storage device model, which is accurate for transient stability analysis. The paper also presents a thorough statistical comparison of the performance and robustness of the considered control techniques, using stochastic dynamic models and a variety of disturbances and scenarios. The case study is based on a 1,479-bus model of the all-island Irish transmission system and an energy storage device actually installed in the system.
