Abstract

Electric springs based on power electronics have been proposed as a demand response method for stabilizing power grid fed by substantial intermittent renewable energy sources. Associated with energy storage, they can provide active and reactive power compensation. Due to the limited storage capacity of the battery, this project explores a new control scheme for the third version of the electric springs to operate under the physical constraints of the state-of-charge of the battery for microgrid stability applications. Such a scheme has been tested in an experimental prototype and a power grid simulator. Results are presented in this paper to illustrate the use of the scheme in battery's monitoring, charging/discharging management and output power control. © 2015 IEEE.
