| description | This paper addresses the black start of medium voltage distribution networks (MV-DNs) by a battery energy storage system (BESS). The BESS consists of a two-level voltage source inverter interfacing MV-DN which has limited overcurrent capability. On the other hand, MV-DN normally includes several step-up and step-down transformers that are drawing sympathetic inrush current in energizing stage. Therefore, the major difficulty to perform black start by BESS during MV-DN island operation lies in the fact that the inverter has to simultaneous control the network voltage and its output current. This paper presents two control approaches for a BESS in order to control the inrush current during MV-DN black start. The proposed control schemes consist of droop, voltage and current loops in the stationary reference frame. The droop loop is used to generate the voltage reference. An intermediate voltage and inner current loops are designed for output voltage regulation, current reference generation as well as current tracking, respectively. New reference modifiers are included into droop and voltage loops to limit inrush current. The proposed control schemes are experimentally tested for energizing Ingå MV-DN in Finland by 1 MVA BESS, and their performance is compared in terms of inrush current value and voltage quality. The obtained results prove that both methods are able to feed the load with a fixed voltage in the steady-state as well as to limit the transformer inrush current considering the inverter overcurrent limit. |
