Optimal Allocation of Hybrid Energy Storage Capacity Based on ISSA-Optimized VMD Parameters.

To address the issue where the grid integration of renewable energy field stations may exacerbate the power fluctuation in tie-line agreements and jeopardize safe grid operation, we propose a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) capacity allocation optimization method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and a multi-strategy improved salp swarm algorithm (ISSA). From typical wind load power and contact line agreement power, the HESS power is obtained. VMD decomposes this power into high- and low-frequency power, respectively, for the super capacitor and the Li-ion battery. Considering charging and discharging power and state of charge (SOC) constraints, an optimization model minimizing the system equivalent annual value cost is established. ISSA optimizes the best decomposition layer K and penalty coefficients α in VMD. The optimal cut-off point and corresponding energy storage allocation scheme are analyzed. A simulation and analysis on MATLAB show that the proposed ISSA-VMD HESS capacity allocation scheme saves 7.53% in costs compared to an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) scheme, proving the method's effectiveness and superiority.
