An analytical optimum method for simultaneous integration of PV, wind turbine and BESS to maximize technical benefits

Abstract

The present paper introduces an analytical approach for integrating distributed energy resources (DERs) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) into power grids. The given method aims to simultaneously identify optimal buses and capacities of DERs and BESSs, with regard to the responsive load demand along with the stochastic nature of wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) units, and then to minimize energy losses and improve voltage profiles. For this purpose, the responsive load model, the uncertainties in the WT and PV units, and the BESSs are firstly modeled. Secondly, the output curve of BESSs is obtained so that demand and supply can be balanced effectively, so as to utilize the full-potential output of DERs. Thirdly, a set of formulation is developed for simultaneous integration of the DERs and the BESSs. This formulation reflects on different levels of loads and DERs for each period as well as each segment with their corresponding probability density. Finally, the proposed method is tested on the standard IEEE 33-bus network. These results verify that sizing and sitting of DERs and BESSs can significantly shape the planning results of DERs and increase their penetration in the power grids at the same time.
