AN EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENT OF BESS INTEGRATION SCENARIOS INTO AN ISOLATED GRID

Abstract

For isolated networks with renewable energy sources such as the power grid
of Phu Quy island - Binh Thuan province, the integration of battery energy
storage system (BESS) proves to have remarkable advantages including
economic and technical preeminence. BESS contributes to increase renewable
energy penetration rate and reduce the dependence on fossil fuel generation.
Nevertheless, it is also necessary to conduct studies on the effectiveness
assessment of BESS which should be feasible with the existing power system. In
this paper, the authors acquire data of load demand and generation sources data
of Phu Quy’s power grid for one year, investigate BESS integration scenarios and
evaluate the effectiveness of each scenario so as to pick appropriate selection.
