Power management and power sharing accuracy remain two major concerns due to lack of appropriate control strategies for bidirectional DC-DC converters (BDCs), which transfer power between distributed generations (DGs), such as electric vehicles (EVs), and HMGs. Similarly, interlinking converters (ICs), which are essential for power exchange between the AC and DC sides, can further intensify this challenge. Such deficiencies can pose threats to efficient operation of HMGs. To address these issues, this paper proposes a 3-D droop-based control scheme for BDCs, designed to coordinate the performance of both EVs and BDCs on the DC side. This approach ensures accurate power sharing between BDCs despite unequal line resistances and enhances the overall power management of the HMG by involving EVs in meeting the load demand. Additionally, a novel approach for decoupling the charging and discharging modes of the EVs is introduced to eliminate circulating power among parallel BDCs. Consequently, BDC losses will be minimized, and their operational capacity remains unburdened, as unnecessary performance is avoided. Furthermore, a multi-purpose IC, formed by integrating a conventional single-stage IC with an adjustable distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM), equipped with a coordinated 3-D droop control is suggested. This not only facilitates the AC side voltage regulation (VR) through optimal reactive power compensation, but also ensures accurate reactive power sharing among parallel ICs. To accomplish this, the capacitance of the DC-link of the DSTATCOM is optimized by precisely tuning the proposed 3-D droop gains of the IC. The effectiveness of this control strategy is demonstrated and compared with other methods in the literature using an HMG testbed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50547,"journal":{"name":"Electric Power Systems Research","volume":"244 ","pages":"Article 111563"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143526646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the methods of using flexibility is using energy storage systems. In the operation of the distribution network with variable tariff, energy storage systems create flexibility in the network by charging in off-peak hours and discharging in peak hours. Batteries, which are the most widely used storage systems in the electricity distribution network for the operation of this network, are divided into two categories: fixed and mobile batteries. In fixed batteries, the installation location of the battery is already known, but in mobile batteries, the battery is transported on a truck and its location changes according to the operation, which is spatial-temporal flexibility of mobile batteries, and their location is determined according to the parking lots created to stop the truck. In this paper, the formulation of two-way distribution network operation in the presence of fixed and mobile batteries is presented. In the presented formulation, firstly, the model of fixed and mobile batteries is presented, and then it is aggregated in the problem of operation of two-way distribution network. The spatial-temporal flexibility of a mobile battery is a feature that allows for various applications. Unlike a fixed battery that only has temporal flexibility, in a mobile battery both temporal and spatial flexibility exist and are formulated. In the presented model, the robust optimization method is used to model the uncertainties of the problem. Finally, simulations on the IEEE 33-bus network have been presented to prove the capability of the presented model and the flexibility used.
