Multifunction Battery Energy Storage System for Distribution Networks

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is one of the potential solutions to increase energy system flexibility, as BESS well suited solve many challenges in transmission and distribution networks. Examples network’s challenges, which affect network performance, are: (i) Load disconnection or technical constraints violation, may happen during reconfiguration after fault, (ii) Unpredictable power generation change due Photovoltaic (PV) penetration, (iii) Undesirable PV reverse power, (iv) Low Factor (LF) electricity price. In this paper, used support networks a increasing cutting peak load, loading valley filling. The paper presents methodology for optimal locations sizing considering fault changes. For determining maximum PV, actual registration connected plants South Cairo Electricity Distribution Company (SCEDC) was considered year. addition, provides procedure operator employ proposed perform multi functions such as: ability absorb surplus, cut load fill improving performances. applied modified IEEE 37-node real part consisting 158 nodes SCEDC zone. simulation studies are performed using DIgSILENT PowerFactory software DPL programming language. Mixed Integer Linear Programming optimization technique (MILP) MATLAB employed choose best BESS.
