Steady-state mathematical models of battery storage plants with line-commutated converters

Battery storage plants can be interfaced to electric power systems by AC/DC line-commutated converters, whose behavior is strongly influenced by AC and DC side interactions, and which can work in nonideal conditions such as those arising from voltage harmonics and imbalances. Mathematical models of battery storage plants with conventionally and nonconventionally controlled line-commutated converters are presented. The aim is to carry out a complete harmonic analysis in steady-state nonideal conditions. The models, which include the DC side of the converter, can be directly employed in an iterative harmonic analysis of a power system with converters. Numerical simulation results are discussed.<
