Grouping Control Strategy for Battery Energy Storage Power Stations Considering the Wind and Solar Power Generation Trend

Abstract

For the optimal power distribution problem of battery energy storage power stations containing multiple energy storage units, a grouping control strategy considering the wind and solar power generation trend is proposed. Firstly, a state of charge (SOC) consistency algorithm based on multi-agent is proposed. The adaptive power distribution among the units started can be realized using this algorithm. Then, considering the trend of wind and solar power generation, a reasonable grouping control strategy is formulated. The grouping situation of the units is determined by using the probability distribution characteristics of energy storage charging and discharging, which reduces the number of charging and discharging conversions and extends the power station life. Finally, the actual data of a wind–solar energy storage microgrid is used to verify the method. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method has certain advantages in terms of control effect, SOC consistency, and extending the power station life.
