An Communication and Battery Performance Evaluation of the Demand Response and Battery Storage Coordination System Potential for Providing Microgrid Tie-Line Smoothing Services

Abstract:

In this paper, an communication and battery performance evaluation is discussed for a demand response and battery storage coordination algorithm, which provides a new way of microgrid tie-line smoothing service. A battery storage system and a total number of 1000 heat pumps are modeled to demonstrate the algorithm. A temperature priority list (TPL) model is used to describe the behavior of the heat pumps. Besides, a control strategy via a two-way communication networks is implemented to smooth the tie-line fluctuations. Then considering in a no ideal communication environment, the impacts of the unexpected changes of the on/off status of the heat pumps on the simulation results are studied. Meanwhile, the impacts of different numbers of batteries and batteries with different charging rates are also referred. The results show that coordinating the heat pumps and batteries can significantly smooth the fluctuations brought by the integration of the renewable resources such as the wind and solar power. The switching status changes of the heat pumps, the numbers and charging rate of the batteries also have great influence on the proposed smoothing performance.
