Reactive power compensation capacity when the energy storage battery cabinet is discharging

How to reconfiguration a distributed power network and reactive power compensation?

Conclusion The paper addresses the topic of reconfiguration of distribution power network and reactive power compensation, taking into account the presence of distributed energy sources and storage systems. The reconfiguration is performed by Minimum Spanning Tree, Kruskal algorithm, followed by capacitor switching by Simulated Annealing.

What is active power compensation?

Active power compensation. The maximum active power provided by the BESS is 20 kW. So, a quantity of reactive power is available to be used. Indeed the control system can use that reactive power and the result is shown in Fig. 17. Fig. 17 shows as the reactive power requested by the EV fast charge can be provided by the BESS.

Can a battery energy storage system be used in microgrids?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are widely used for renewable energy applications, especially in stabilizing the power system with ancillary services. The objective of this paper is to propose an active and reactive power controller for a BESS in microgrids.

Can Bess compensate active and reactive power on EV fast charge?

As seen before, the BESS can compensate the active and reactive power on the EV fast charge. A high active power threshold has been chosen in this experimentation to avoid active power compensation. So the energy consumption to cover the reactive power compensation service has been analyzed.

Can battery energy storage systems be used in distribution network?

A special focus of the paper is on the use of Battery Energy Storage Systems in distribution network. Discussion is given to underscore the point of BESS connection and the optimal power required. Three Scenarios are discused. The first one is with BESS, the second one is without BESS, and the third one is original network only with DGs.

How much reactive power can a Bess provide?

The maximum active power provided by the BESS is 20 kW. So, a quantity of reactive power is available to be used. Indeed the control system can use that reactive power and the result is shown in Fig. 17. Fig. 17 shows as the reactive power requested by the EV fast charge can be provided by the BESS. In this way the power factor is close to 1.
