Enhancing smart grid transient performance using storage device‐based MPC controller

Abstract

Renewable energy sources (wind turbine and photovoltaic system) are connected to the smart grid to promote the grid power, but the output of these sources is changed due to the sunlight and wind speed variations. Power storage system has the ability to reduce variations in a power system. Battery energy storage system (BESS) and superconducting magnetic energy storage system (SMES) are good solutions for this problem. The storage unit is connected to a power system at the point of common coupling and is able to absorb/store both active and reactive powers from this system and inject them into the power system in the peak demand periods. A control strategy based on proportional-integrative-derivative (PID) and model predictive controller (MPC) are used to control (SMES/BESS) to enhance the transient performance of a smart grid. The proposed algorithm has been tested on standard IEEE 5-bus system connected to wind turbine distributed generator, non-linear loads, and storage device (BESS/SMES) to verify the superiority of the presented method. The simulation results show that the performance of SMES with PID is more efficient than BESS with PID, but they have nearly the same output when MPC control strategy is used. 2 Types of energy storage devices The increasing focus on large-scale integration of renewable energy sources (wind turbine and photovoltaic system) introduces

Integration of PV system with SMES based on model predictive control for utility grid reliability improvement

“…The results prove that the losses due to eddy currents can be minimized by using MPC instead of a PI controller. The integration of SMES and RESs based on wind power is introduced in [16], and the results prove the feasibility of MPC for fast decrease of the disturbances in the system. In [17], MPC is used directly to control the frequency of the power system, though it lacks in-depth analysis.…”

VSC‐HVDC system‐based on model predictive control integrated with offshore wind farms

“…However, these switches of the inverter ( ( S 1 and S 4 ), ( S 3 and S 6 ), or ( S 2 and S 5 )) cannot be switched on the same time because it may cause a short circuit. Moreover, there is an eight switches states and voltage vectors for the three‐phase VSI are calculated by using the gate signals taking into account all possible combinations of switching signals [25].…”

Sweeping power system stabilisation with a parametric fuzzy predictive control of a generalised energy storage device

“…The instantaneous permanent magnet machine action is given in (14), which is the steady-state reduction of an equivalent machineflywheel single mass model [34]. The flywheel inner loop modelling equations can be deduced from Fig.…”

“…The only catch in the said works is the absence of AGC and AVR loops. In [14], MPC controlled ESD operation is presented for an IEEE 5 bus system. The authors prefer locating the storage at the wind farm bus and THD inferring Simscape based simulation studies are performed for situations of sag‐swell only.…”
