An approach for control of battery energy storage management systems considering multiple functions

This paper present a complete electrochemical energy storage management scheme to maximize potential value that can be brought forth to medium voltage feeders. In general, the potential performance benefits produced by possible energy storage applications include improved system reliability, dynamic stability, enhanced power quality, transmission capacity enhancement and area protection. Here we propose a unique control algorithm that enhances coordination of ancillary services applications mainly voltage support along with renewables capacity firming. Optimization of control parameters and set points are considered for management between the mentioned applications. The design is tested on an Electro Magnetic Transient Program (EMTP) simulation platform which shows that the method performs both the functions.
