Abstract:

Coordinated control among the energy sources, girds, loads, and storages is vital for the economic operation of a microgrid system, especially when the microgrid system includes energy storage systems. To improve the operation economy of such systems, a model library based on value stream analysis was developed on process simulation software. After calculating the flow and potential variables, the unit price variable was calculated according to the bidirectional flow characteristics of the energy storage system. To verify the reliability of the EnergySystem library in optimizing the control of a microgrid system, the control strategy of its energy storage system was analyzed. The result showed that a reasonable control strategy of the energy storage system must fully consider many boundary conditions, such as the time-of-use electric price, load demand, photovoltaic power generation, and energy-storage system parameters. After implementing a control strategy based on the value stream analysis, the peakvalley arbitrage was 1.8 times higher and the solar power loss was 50% lower than after implementing the strategy of the energy storage provider.

Key words: energy storage system, micro-grid, modelica, optimization control strategy, dynamic programming
