Battery Storage System as Power Unbalance Redistributor in Distribution Grids Based on Three Legs Four Wire Voltage Source Converter
No full textThis article discusses the application of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) as power redistributors in three-phase distribution grids as an add-on functionality to typical BESS applications, such as congestion management and energy arbitrage. Combining those ancillary services into a single power unit is not yet performed in practice but may constitute an emerging business opportunity to increase the BESS revenues. The unbalanced operation of the BESS voltage source converter (VSC) leads to the circulation of low-frequency current harmonics in the dc-link through the capacitors and the battery cells. Therefore, it is particularly interesting whether relatively large 50- and 100-Hz currents can safely circulate within these components. Analytical modeling and design guidelines for the dc-link of a three-leg four-wire two-level VSC operating under unbalanced loads are detailed. Furthermore, a low-power VSC prototype is used to demonstrate the working principle of the BESS, providing power unbalance redistribution and symmetric power exchange. Additionally, the ICR18650-26F Lithium-ion cells are cycled to reach end-of-life with different current profiles and C-ratings. The analysis shows that charging with a 100 Hz ripple superimposed to the dc current leads to a 10% increment in degradation

Effects of power electronic compensation on distribution network thermal and voltage violations
No full textThis paper is concerned with the use of medium-voltage power electronics in providing active compensation to distribution networks. The primary purpose of using active compensation is to allow for network growth in the form of distributed generation or customer demand increases. With continuing growth, network thermal and voltage constraints would eventually be violated at some point, even with the use of power electronic compensation. Through the study of increasing generation on several hundred distribution network datasets, trends in the type and location of these constraint breaches are identified for both uncompensated and compensated networks. In comparing the initial types of constraint breaches in uncompensated and compensated networks, the use of power electronics is seen to eliminate overvoltage issues as the primary concern in many cases. In addition, while power electronic compensation is seen to make a significant change in the growth accommodated before constraint breach, the location of these initial breaches is not altered appreciably

No full textBenefits of distribution-level power electronics for supporting distributed generation growth
No full textIt is expected that distribution networks will be required to accommodate large amounts of distributed generation (DG). Keeping power flows and voltages within their limits will require either traditional infrastructure upgrades or active compensation. The form of active compensation (e.g., series, shunt, back to back, multiterminal), quantity, and rating of the compensator should be chosen to realize the best cost-benefit ratio. Distributed-generator and compensator placement algorithms are used with a power-flow and constraint satisfaction algorithm to analyze a large number of case studies (using real U.K. network data). From these cases, assessments of compensator performance are made and summarized statistically. When considering incremental deployment across all networks, with the site of greatest benefit chosen at each increment, it is found that static synchronous compensators provide the most favorable cost-benefit ratio. In contrast, multiterminal voltage-source converters tend to provide the greatest flexibility when considering uniform deployment across all networks. It is also observed that traditional reinforcement enhances the benefits provided by active compensation
Fully Turbulent Mean Velocity Profile for Purely Viscous non-Newtonian Fluids
No full textThe characteristic near wall behavior of turbulent flow of purely-viscous non-Newtonian fluids is discussed for both power-law (P.-L.) and Herschel-Bulkley (H.-B.) rheological models. A proper scaling is presented for H.-B. fluids to establish an analogy with power-law fluids with same flow index. To provide reference data for turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids, DNS simulations of power-law fluids are conducted in a rectangular channel for a large range of power-law indices ( = 0.5, 0.69, 0.75, 0.9, 1, 1.2). The DNS data show that the mean velocity profile in the viscous and logarithmic layers follow expressions of the form and respectively, where shows a logarithmic dependency on the flow index.Comparison with some experimental data shows the above formulation to be valid for Reynolds numbers (based on shear velocity) as high as 1000
