Abstract

The performance of battery energy storage systems (BESS) along their lifetime is significantly influenced by their degradation. The rate of degradation depends on stress factors such as the state of charge, charge-discharge rate, and depth of cycle, but evolves differently for every individual battery. Batteries with differences in capacity and or state of health may diverge further apart when cycled evenly causing further inhomogeneities. BESS can also consist of heterogeneous sub-units if second life batteries with reduced capacity and or state of health are integrated in the system. In order to minimize the overall system aging effects those variances can be balanced with an according operation strategy. This contribution presents a model predictive control (MPC) framework that helps to solve optimization problems regarding the power split within heterogeneous BESS-models. An exemplary 2-string battery model is used to represent batteries with different characteristics and it contains cycle and calendar aging mechanisms. In our case one of the strings is preaged. The MPC framework combines aging estimation and operation optimization by using a commercial solver. It iterates over a given profile and predicts the optimal power split between the heterogeneous strings. By defining the system’s total minimal capacity loss as an objective function, the optimizer achieves to minimize the BESS-model’s overall capacity loss during operation. The simulation reveals that while the new string ages by 1.23 %, the preaged string will lose 0.258 % state of health within the 21-day timeframe investigated.
