Abstract: Energy Storage Systems(ESSs) have critical impacts on the reliability and economy of micro-grid operation. In this paper, the control strategies of ESSs for a micro-grid in both grid-connected and islanded modes are analyzed. In order to solve the severe stability issues caused by high R/X ratio of line impedance in traditional voltage and frequency droop controls, an improved droop control strategy is designed that can enhance micro-grid transient performance by mitigating power fluctuation. A mathematical model of economic dispatch of ESSs is established under the time-of-use pricing, with which peak load shaving can be achieved. The proposed strategies in control and dispatch are verified through a study case.

Key words: micro-grid, energy storage system, droop control, economic dispatch, time-of-use price
