Abstract

In recent years, the integration of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) with multilevel modular converters (MMCs) has received interest in power system applications. In this work, this configuration is called a MMC-based BESS. The batteries are connected directly to the MMCs on submodules (SMs), called the single-stage approach. Several control strategies have been proposed to guarantee the proper operation of a MMC-based BESS. This system is complex due to the control strategy. Another challenge is in obtaining the controller gains for a MMC-based BESS converter. In this sense, there is a gap in the methodology used to calculate the controller gains. Thus, this work aimed to tune the analytical expressions of a MMC-based BESS by considering the single-stage approach. The methodology is validated through detailed simulation models of 10.9 MVA/5.76 MWh connected to a 13.8 kV power system. Finally, to validate the dynamics of the controllers, the simulation results in the PLECS software for the charging and discharging processes are presented.
