Analysis of equivalent circuit of the battery connected to the grid

This paper provides an analysis of the equivalent circuit of the 1 MW battery tied to the grid. It also discusses the installation of a 1 MWh battery system at Reese Technology Center (RTC) in Lubbock, Texas. The research involves deploying energy storage devices for application in wind farms to understand the interaction between wind energy, the grid and the grid loads. A 1 MW/1 MWh battery storage system at the RTC is connected to the South Plains Electric Cooperative (SPEC) grid. The batteries are used for energy storage and for mitigation of transient conditions grid dynamics. In this paper the 1 MW battery is modeled in PSCAD and analyzed for its discharge characteristics when it is tied to the grid.
