Abstract

In recent years, the concept of smart grids has brought major development in distributed systems. Therefore, the overall grid efficiency can be enhanced with intended integration of several different types of renewable energy sources in distribution systems and further target highest reliability and reduced system losses with great operational flexibility. In this paper, we address optimal allocation of storage devices for achieving proper and feasible satisfactory load management. The allocation strategy consists of AC-optimal power flow (AC-OPF) for suitable storage placement with the objective to optimize the installation cost, energy balance and system losses. The proposed methodology is tested for various scenarios of renewable integrated, IEEE 24-bus standard test network. Hence, the overall system benefits is observed to be maximized.
