Integrated optimal control of battery energy storage management system for energy management and PV Capacity Firming

In this paper and integrated battery energy management algorithm for optimal control of power and energy of a medium voltage feeder is discussed. The proposed unique control algorithm enhances coordination of two main storage applications, viz., Photo-Voltaic Capacity Firming (PVCF) and electric Energy Time Shift (ETS). Optimization of control parameters and set points are considered for management between the mentioned applications. Practical implementation results on a utility feeder are discussed.
