Bess Unit Scheduling Strategy The Lifetime of BESS Is Limited by A Finite Number of Charge - Discharge Cycles and Frequent

The document discusses strategies for operating battery energy storage systems (BESS) used to mitigate fluctuations in wind farm generation output. Frequent charging and discharging reduces BESS lifetime. While needed to mitigate fluctuations, frequent mode switching harms BESS lifespan. The document proposes a dual-battery configuration to prevent this by dividing the batteries into two groups - one charges while the other discharges. This aims to extend BESS lifetime but coordination between the groups poses challenges, especially with wind speed forecast uncertainty.

CHAPTER IV
BESS UNIT SCHEDULING STRATEGY
The lifetime of BESS is limited by a finite number of charge discharge cycles and

frequent

charging and discharging cycles will reduce the operational lifetime of the BESS However, in order to
mitigate the fluctuation in the WF generation output, the integrated BESS needs to be switched
between charging and discharging modes frequently. The operational lifetime of BESS is adversely
affected by this frequent mode switching operation. Hence, strategies are to be developed for the BESS
dispatch to increase the

operational lifetime of BESS for use in the WF generation fluctuation

mitigation.
A. BESS Units Configuration
BESS consists of battery banks connected in parallel to provide the required energy storage
capacity for the WF fluctuation mitigation operation. The number and size of the battery banks can be
determined using an optimization process based on the historical time series of the load data and the
amount of wind generator output. Such an optimization process is not considered in this paper,
although it is assumed that this will be carried out in the planning process for the design of the
integration of BESS to improve the generations and supply reliability of a WF In the WF power
dispatch control and fluctuation mitigation study, BESS is usually considered as a single unit .In the
parallel battery banks with a single dc/ac conversion unit system, all the parallel batteries share the total
BESS charging and discharging energies equally. Since in the WF generation fluctuation mitigation
operation, BESS undergoes frequent charging/discharging mode switching, all the parallel battery units
encounter shortened operational lifetime. A dual-battery energy storage configuration is proposed in to
prevent frequent charging/discharging mode switching in the WF generation fluctuation mitigation
operation. The parallel battery bank is divided into two groups. One group of battery charges while the
other group of battery is dedicated for discharging. The dual-battery configuration encounters
challenges storage capacity of each battery group. During this situation, the battery group allocated for
discharging mode will have to switch to charging before completing discharging operation. Hence, it is
challenging to keep the synchronization in the charging/discharging cycle between the two battery
groups particularly when considering the uncertainty factors associated with the forecasted wind speed.
