Simulating Renewable Energy Systems Using Simulink: A Practical Approach with Design a Large Battery Storage System
This MATLAB Simulink model presents the design and implementation of a Large Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) aimed at alleviating peak power demands in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The system utilizes grid-forming control to facilitate power injection during peak times and incorporates a battery management system (BMS) for efficient operation. Additionally, a photovoltaic (PV) system is integrated to supplement power generation. The model encompasses various components such as converters, filters, and controllers to regulate power flow and ensure seamless integration with the grid. Detailed simulations evaluate system performance, validating the effectiveness of peak shaving strategies and compliance with relevant industry standards like IEEE 1547-2018 and IEEE 2030.2.1-2019. Results indicate successful peak shaving functionality and highlight the impact of time delays on system dynamics.
