Transmission-Level Impact Analysis Of Utility-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Systems And Battery Energy Storage Grid Support, Gerald W. Bankes Ii
Transmission-Level Impact Analysis Of Utility-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Systems And Battery Energy Storage Grid Support, Gerald W. Bankes Ii
Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering
Solar photovoltaic energy generation is expected to grow dramatically in coming years in order to take advantage of renewable and clean sources of electricity. This thesis presents research on the impact of increasing solar PV penetration, specifically of large, utility-scale PV facilities, on transmission network performance. The development of Python programming tools for automation of power flow analysis is presented. A modified version of the IEEE 118-Bus test system is developed and modified to simulate increasing PV generation on the transmission system. The impacts on performance are analyzed trends are reported. Battery energy storage systems are studied in this thesis …
Integration Of Large Pv Power Plants And Batteries In The Electric Power System, Oluwaseun M. Akeyo
Integration Of Large Pv Power Plants And Batteries In The Electric Power System, Oluwaseun M. Akeyo
Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering
The declining cost of renewables, the need for cleaner sources of energy, and environmental protection policies have led to the growing penetration of inverter-based resources such as solar photovoltaics (PV), wind, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) into the electric power system. The intermittent nature of these resources poses multiple challenges to the power grid and substantial changes in the conventional generation and electrical power delivery practices will be required to accommodate the large penetration of these renewable power plants. The impact of large solar PV penetration on both generation and transmission systems, and the use of BESS to mitigate …

Analysis And Simulation Of Photovoltaic Systems Incorporating Battery Energy Storage, Oluwaseun M. Akeyo
Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering
Solar energy is an abundant renewable source, which is expected to play an increasing role in the grid's future infrastructure for distributed generation. The research described in the thesis focuses on the analysis of integrating multi-megawatt photovoltaics (PV) systems with battery energy storage into the existing grid and on the theory supporting the electrical operation of components and systems. The PV system is divided into several sections, each having its own DC-DC converter for maximum power point tracking and a two-level grid connected inverter with different control strategies. The functions of the battery are explored by connecting it to the …
