High Performance Virtual Generator BESS for Distribution SystemsSupport Applications Analysed in a Hardware-in-the-Loop SimulationSet Up

Abstract

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming more and more popular to address some of the challenges that distribution systems are facing. The key BESS applications revolve around traditional topics such as deferring grid extensions or novel predicaments due to increased integration of non-dispatchable renewables on the grid edge. This paper provides an insight into the BESS solution design and engineering process and demonstrates a selection of use cases in a hardware-inthe-loop (HIL) simulation set up.
