Abstract
In this paper, we present results from a power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) simulation that was performed to test and demonstrate the impact of a battery energy storage system (BESS) on a distribution feeder. The PHIL platform includes a simulated distribution grid in a real-time digital simulator (RTDS), AC and DC power amplifiers, and a battery inverter as the device under test. Guidelines of specific procedures to set up a PHIL platform are provided on how to set up a PHIL platform to evaluate the impact of grid integrated systems. Accelerated time-series PHIL simulations of peak shaving and Volt/Var functionalities were performed using a 540 kVA BESS. These experimental results illustrate how PHIL simulations can be used to evaluate the impact of BESS functionalities on the distribution grid prior to installation in the field.
