Battery Energy Storage for Seamless Transitions of Wind Generator in Standalone Microgrid

This paper presents a control scheme for a standalone microgrid having a nondispatchable fixed-pitch variable-speed wind generator (WG) and a battery energy storage (BES). The WG is directly interfaced at the point of common coupling (PCC) and the BES is interfaced at the PCC via a bidirectional dc-ac converter. The unique aspect of the control strategy is that the BES not only regulates the PCC v...
