With the development of power systems, the application of energy storage (ES) technology has become widespread. The bi-directional power regulation capability and fast response rate of ES system can effectively assist the cooperative operation of the grid and load. In this paper, a two-stage optimization model for ES locating and sizing considering economic benefits and charging and discharging strategies is established. The optimization objectives are improving the power quality of distribution network and maximizing the revenue of energy storage, respectively. The effectiveness of the above model is verified in a 33-node distribution network. The results show that a reasonable ES locating and sizing plan can improve the utilization rate of ES and the operation optimization of distribution network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
