Sizing and Placement of Battery Energy Storage Systems and Wind Turbines by Minimizing Costs and System Losses

Abstract

Probabilistic and intermittent output power of wind turbines (WT) is one major inconsistency of WTs. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) are a suitable solution to mitigate this intermittency which use to smoothen the output power injected to the grid by such intermittent sources. This paper proposes a new optimization formulation using genetic algorithm to simultaneous sizing and placement of BESSs and WTs which result in finding best location and size (capacity) of WTs and BESSs in power system by minimizing total system loss (active and reactive loss) and Costs of WTs and BESSs which improves demand bus voltage profiles. The result of optimization problem is best buses to locate WTs and BESSs and the size (installable active and reactive power) of them. The case studies performed on IEEE 33 bus system, validates the suitability of the formulation for loss minimization and bus voltage profiles improvement in the test system in presence of WT and BESS.
