Abstract

In this chapter, the potential of applying ESS for facilitating the integration of renewables into electric power systems is presented. In particular, the possibility of using ESSs for mitigating over- and undervoltages in LV networks is investigated. Moreover, different algorithms for both planning and operation of such innovative devices are proposed.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In power systems, measurements of average power are typically labeled a posteriori, i.e., the power ascribed at time t actually represents the average power between \(t-1\) and t. On the other hand, the ESS control inputs holding between \(t-1\) and t are denoted by \(p_s^{ess}(t-1)\) and \(q_s^{ess}(t-1)\), consistently with the fact that they are decided at time \(t-1\).
