Penetration of variable energy resource (VER) is limited by voltage constraints in distribution systems. Hence, distributed energy storage systems (ESS) have been considered to be a promising solution owing to their fast and flexible control capability. This paper proposes a voltage control algorithm of the distributed ESS based on the varying operating conditions of the distribution systems. In the proposed algorithm, the required responses of the distributed ESS are controlled for regulating the monitored voltage on the distribution system by using the matched Jacobian element derived from the operating conditions as its control gain. In addition, each required response is readjusted by allocating the violated voltage to distributed ESS respectively based on the portion of its Jacobian element and its available state of charge (SoC). The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through time-series simulation by employing one of the actual distribution systems with a high penetration of VER in Korea.

Abstract The decreasing cost of implementation and increasing regulatory incentive to lower energy use have led to an increased adoption of distributed energy resources in recent years. This increased adoption has been further fueled by a surge in energy consciousness and the expansion of energy-saving products and technologies. To lower reliance on the electrical grid and fully realize the benefits of distributed energy resources, many consumers have also elected to use battery systems to store generated energy. For owners of multiple buildings, or multiple owners willing to share the operational cost, building clusters may be formed to more effectively take advantage of these distributed resources and storage systems. The implementation of these systems in existing buildings introduces the question of what makes a “good” building cluster. Furthermore, the scalable nature of distributed energy sources and storage systems create countless possibilities for system configuration. Through comparison of unique two-building clusters from a stock of five buildings with a given distributed energy resource (in this case, a solar photovoltaic panel array) and energy storage system, we develop a fundamental understanding of the underlying factors that allow building clusters to be less reliant on the utility grid and make better use of energy generation and storage systems.
