MGs can be operated in two modes: grid-connected mode or islanded (autonomous) mode. When the MG isolation takes place, the system dynamics and control actions must respond safely and reliably so that its transition to the islanded operating mode can ensure the operational resilience. In this situation, FACTS (flexible ac transmission system) technology can be applied to ensure a good operational performance of the MG to mitigate problems related to voltage control and stability. In this paper, FACTS devices such as SVC (static Var compensator) and DSTATCOM (distribution static compensator) are comparatively studied in order to know the features and operational responses to improve the dynamic voltage stability (DVS) in the MG transition from the grid-tied to the isolated operation. Results obtained show that these FACTS devices operating in coordination with the MG distributed generation systems can improve considerably the DVS and operational resilience. Results are satisfactory and their improvements are presented through dynamic simulations in time domain and using proposed metrics related to the DVS and the MG operational resilience.","PeriodicalId":120262,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference - Latin America (ISGT Latin America)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117177556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a real case analysis of a BESS installed in a final customer is presented, providing services with the main purpose of reducing electricity charges and increasing reliability of energy supply. Three different load scenarios were tested (low, medium, and high) on the combination of the following operation modes: energy time shift, demand charge management, and reactive power control. As a result, the system was able to perform correctly since the controls and the system itself were properly designed. In order to understand those operation modes and their results, this paper shows a brief description of the BESS components and the local tariff structure is also detailed.","PeriodicalId":120262,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference - Latin America (ISGT Latin America)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131827042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed method is applied in an urban zone in Sao Paulo in Brazil, where tall buildings and residential houses are built. The estimate indicates a reduction of 3.2%in the PV potential due to shading effects. Furthermore, the proposed method allows the calculation of the daily average PV potential.
