Multi-objective optimization of HESS control for optimal frequency regulation in a power system with RE penetration

Concerns over fossil fuel emissions and their hazardous effects have led to a shift away from conventional power plants and focus more on the expansion of renewable energy sources. This shift has resulted in reduced inertia and resulted in poor frequency control within electrical power systems. Hybr...

description Concerns over fossil fuel emissions and their hazardous effects have led to a shift away from conventional power plants and focus more on the expansion of renewable energy sources. This shift has resulted in reduced inertia and resulted in poor frequency control within electrical power systems. Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESS) have been proposed as an effective solution to enhance frequency stability and address the reduced inertia issue. This research evaluates three distinct control models for HESS, Incorporating Supercapacitor Energy Storage (SCES) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). To optimize the control parameters with the best objectives, all possible sets of objectives with four different optimization algorithms are studied. The three control models considered for the HESS incorporate Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) or Virtual Inertia (VI) control with independent or simultaneous optimization of control parameters. The performances of the three control models are evaluated based on three test scenarios incorporating uncertainties, reduced inertia, and uniform and random load disturbances. The findings indicate that the Independently Optimized Virtual Synchronous Generator HESS (IO VSG-HESS) achieves the best settling time post-contingency but offers the least improvement in frequency nadir with an average of 0.31 %. Conversely, the Simultaneously Optimized Virtual Inertia And Virtual Synchronous Generator Controlled HESS (SO VI-VSG-HESS) excel in mitigating small frequency fluctuations with an average improvement in frequency standard deviation of 87.65 %. The Simultaneously Optimized Virtual Synchronous Generator Controlled HESS (SO VSG-HESS) provides the best frequency nadir, with an average improvement of 0.63 %, but with a slight increase in settling time.
