Abstract

A peak shaving approach in selected industrial loads helps minimize power usage during high demand hours, decreasing total energy expenses while improving grid stability. A battery energy storage system (BESS) can reduce peak electricity demand in distribution networks. Quasi-dynamic load flow analysis (QLFA) accurately assesses the maximum loading conditions in distribution networks by considering factors such as load profiles, system topology, and network constraints. Achieving maximum peak shaving requires optimizing battery charging and discharging cycles based on real-time energy generation and consumption patterns. Seamless integration of battery storage with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and industrial processes is essential for effective peak shaving strategies. This paper proposes a model predictive control (MPC) scheme that can effectively perform peak shaving of the total industrial load. Adopting an MPC-based algorithm design framework enables the development of an effective control strategy for complex systems. The proposed MPC methodology was implemented and tested on the Indian Utility 29 Node Distribution Network (IU29NDN) using the DIgSILENT Power Factory environment. Additionally, the analysis encompasses technical and economic results derived from a simulated storage operation and, taking Puducherry State Electricity Department tariff details, provides significant insights into the application of this method.
