Model Predictive Control of Energy Storage Systems for Power Regulation in Electricity Distribution Networks
This paper proposes a control strategy for an Energy Storage System (ESS) installed on a secondary substation of an electricity distribution line in order to mitigate power variations with respect to the day-ahead planning caused by renewable energy sources on the distribution line.In particular, the aim of the controller is to keep the power profile of at primary substations close to a reference profile foreseen on a day-ahead basis while guaranteeing the stable operation of its ESS, in terms of their state-of-charge dynamics.
