Abstract:

A hierarchical voltage sag mitigation scheme based on user-side energy storage systems (UESS) was proposed for premium power parks to improve the economic benefits of UESS located in industrial parks, in addition to improving the peak-shaving and valley-filling function of UESS, and economic analysis was conducted. First, the topology and control strategy of UESS were designed so that the UESS could perform the voltage sag mitigation function in addition to the conventional peak-shaving and valley-filling function. A hierarchical voltage sag mitigation scheme based on the coordination of UESS and dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) was proposed to avoid the possible negative impacts of switching between different control modes of UESS. In this scheme, the lowest power supply level does not contain any voltage sag compensation equipment. The medium level of power supply is provided by a single device, while the highest level of power supply is ensured by coordinating UESS and DVR. The effectiveness of the proposed hierarchical power supply scheme was verified by simulations conducted in PSCAD/EMTDC. Finally, the cost and benefit model of UESS was established, and economic analysis of the proposed hierarchical power supply scheme was conducted by comparing the conventional peak-shaving and valley-filling type UESS, demonstrating that the proposed scheme can significantly improve the economic benefit and shorten the payback period of UESS for users suffering from voltage sag.
