Analysis and Review of Grid Connected Battery in Wind Applications

This paper provides an overview of battery technologies and the grid-connected battery projects that integrate wind. It also discusses the deployment of a battery system at Reese Technology Center (RTC) in Texas. The research at RTC involves deploying energy storage devices (i.e. Batteries with grid-tie inverters) for application in wind farms to understand the interaction between wind energy, the grid and the grid loads. The research work focus on the modeling of a battery system and wind turbines when it is connected to the grid, with the aim to understand the optimized energy flow between the battery, the wind farm, and the utility grid, energy management for storage, battery performance, energy dispatch and reliability. With the view of modeling the test bed of the grid-connected battery project at Reese, this paper provides the preliminary simulation results using PSCAD on discharge characteristics of a single cell of a battery at various C rates.

Battery and wind system in weak/strong grid analysis

The paper provides an analysis of the performance of the battery (1MW/1MWh) and wind system (1.7MW) when connected to weak or strong grid. Understanding the performance of the battery and analysis of the battery system tied to the distribution grid with heavy penetration of wind as a function of the strength of the grid is discussed with the aim to understand the optimized energy flow between the battery, the wind farm, and the utility grid, energy management for storage, battery performance, energy dispatch and reliability. The advanced battery model utilizes the dual polarization electrical equivalent model for the analysis. The grid-connected battery and wind system simulation results are obtained using PSCAD software.

Analysis of equivalent circuit of the battery connected to the grid

This paper provides an analysis of the equivalent circuit of the 1 MW battery tied to the grid. It also discusses the installation of a 1 MWh battery system at Reese Technology Center (RTC) in Lubbock, Texas. The research involves deploying energy storage devices for application in wind farms to understand the interaction between wind energy, the grid and the grid loads. A 1 MW/1 MWh battery storage system at the RTC is connected to the South Plains Electric Cooperative (SPEC) grid. The batteries are used for energy storage and for mitigation of transient conditions grid dynamics. In this paper the 1 MW battery is modeled in PSCAD and analyzed for its discharge characteristics when it is tied to the grid.

Analysis of Equivalent Circuit of the Utility Scale Battery for Wind Integration

This paper provides steady-state and transient analysis of the equivalent circuit of the 1 MWh battery tied to the grid for wind integration. It also discusses the installation of a 1 MWh battery system at Reese Technology Center (RTC) in Lubbock, Texas. The research involves deploying energy storage devices for application with wind turbine model to understand the transient behavior of the system under three phase fault conditions. A 1 MW/1 MWh battery storage system at the RTC is connected to the South Plains Electric Cooperative (SPEC) grid. The batteries are used for energy storage and for mitigation of transient conditions grid dynamics. In this paper, the equivalent circuit of the 1 MWh battery is modeled in PSCAD and analyzed for its charge and discharge characteristics under transient fault conditions when it is tied to the grid for wind integration.
