Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents a distributed hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for an island DC microgrid (MG) with a central superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system and multiple distributed battery energy storage systems (BESS). A hierarchical cooperative control scheme is proposed to realize coordinate power sharing among distributed HESS and uninterrupted operation of SMES. The control scheme adopts filtration control to decouple imbalance power into high frequency component and low frequency component, which will be compensated by SMES and distributed BESSs. The proposed mode switch control (MSC) enables SMES to have higher transient large power regulation capability than filtration control. When the DC microgrid suffers from 400 kW power drops and power surges, the maximum DC bus voltage overshoot is 5.6 % and 5.3 % under MSC control, while the overshoot increases to 26.9 % and 8.2 % under the filtration control. Meanwhile, an autonomous state-of-charge (SOC) recovery control is designed for SMES to regulate its SOC within a set range (0.64, 0.725), which enables uninterrupted operation of SMES without performance trade off. A design scheme is proposed to make sure the desired transient power sharing dynamics and SOC recovery with negligible interactions. Additionally, the proposed distributed HESS structure and cooperative control method allows acceptable communication failure and physical faults. Cases verification conducted in PSCAD/EMTDC demonstrates the feasibility and superiority of the proposed system and control scheme against various kinds of power fluctuations. Highlights: A distributed HESS with single central SMES and distributed BESSs is proposed for island DC MG for the first time. A hierarchical cooperated control is proposed to achieve both power decomposition and transient large power compensation. The proposed distributed HESS structure and cooperative control allow acceptable communication failure and physical faults. The proposed autonomous SOC recovery control enables SMES uninterrupted operation. The design scheme ensures negligible interaction between SOC recovery process and the transient power sharing dynamics.
