A novel linear battery energy storage system (BESS) life loss calculation model for BESS-integrated wind farm in scheduled power tracking

Recently, rapid development of battery technology makes it feasible to integrate renewable generations with battery energy storage system (BESS). The consideration of BESS life loss for different BESS application scenarios is economic imperative. In this paper, a novel linear BESS life loss calculation model for BESS-integrated wind farm in scheduled power tracking is proposed. Firstly, based on the life cycle times-depth of discharge (DOD) relation-curve, the BESS life loss coefficient for unit throughput energy with different state of charge (SOC) can be determined from the life cycle times-DOD relation-curve fitting function directly. Secondly, as unidirectional variation of SOC in a single time step, the BESS life loss can be calculated through integration of the life loss coefficient-SOC relation function. A linear BESS life loss calculation model is established through self-optimal piecewise linearization of the primitive function of the life loss coefficient-SOC relation function. Thirdly, the proposed life loss calculation model is incorporated in the BESS-integrated wind farm scheduled power tracking optimization. Case studies demonstrate that with the proposed method, the BESS life loss item can be incorporated in the optimization model effectively, and the scheduled power tracking cost of the BESS-integrated wind farm can be determined and optimized more comprehensively.
