Simulation models developed for voltage control in a distribution network using energy storage systems for PV penetration
Abstract
This paper presents the development of simulation models for DER components in a distribution network, with focus on voltage controllers using energy storage systems for PV penetration. The Vanadium Redox Battery (VRB) system model, used as an energy storage system, was implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and DIgSILENT PowerFactory, based on the efficiency of different components-such as: cell stacks, electrolytes, pumps and power converters, whilst power losses were also taken into account. The simulation results have been validated against measurements using experimental facility of a distributed power system laboratory. To study the variability and the interaction between feeders including VRB, PV system and active units an overvoltage controller has also been developed, implemented and tested successfully.
