Abstract

Abstract: The power fluctuation of photovoltaic (PV) is harmful to power systems, so the battery energy storage system (BESS) was applied to smooth power fluctuation in PV. At present, the main ways to get configuration of BESS are low-pass filter and spectrum compensation, which have some drawbacks. In this paper, a method that combines empirical mode decomposition (EMD) with wavelet analysis (WA) is proposed to get grid-connected active power expectation of PV properly. Based on simulation of PV output, the minimum sizing of BESS is determined by different batteries' state-of-charging (SOC) and efficiency. Comparing traditional low-pass filter and spectrum compensation, this method not only acquires the capacity of BESS accurately, but also improves the effect to smoothing power fluctuation of PV effectively. Finally, a case is proposed to verify correctness of the theory.
