Abstract: The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources in power grids highlights the role of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in enhancing the stability and reliability of electricity. A key challenge with the renewables’, specially the BESSs, integration into the power system is the lack of proper dynamic models and their application in power system analyses. The control design strategy mainly depends on the system dynamics which underlines the importance of the system accurate dynamic modeling. Moreover, control design for the power system is a complicated issue due to its complexity and inter-connectivity, which makes the application of distributed control to improve the stability of a large-scale power system inevitable. This paper presents an optimal distributed control design for the interconnected systems to suppress the effects of small disturbances in the power system employing utility-scale batteries based on existing battery models. The control strategy is applied to two dynamic models of the battery: hybrid model and Western electricity coordinating council (WECC) model. The results show that (i) the smart scheduling of the batteries’ output reduces the inter-area oscillations and improves the stability of the power systems; (ii) the hybrid model of the battery is more user-friendly compared to the WECC model in power system analyses.
