Abstract

In some networks Distributed Generators (DGs) are phasing out conventional power plants in terms of power production but still large efforts are required for providing ancillary services. In this paper the usage of fast response units like a Micro Turbines (MT) and a stationary Electric Vehicle Battery (EVB) is proposed for providing primary regulation in grid connected mode and for hierarchically manage an islanded LV distribution feeder. The unit models are described and a novel EVB model directly based on manufacturer’s data is proposed and evaluated comparing its performances with SimPowerSystems library block. Moreover a voltage dependant power term is applied to the Voltage-Source Converter (VSC) control scheme of the EVB for improving the performances of the islanded feeder. The control is tested in case of under frequency and consequent load shedding occurring at the residential feeder of CIGRE C6.04.02 benchmark network.
