Optimal Allocation Of Battery Energy Storage Systems To Enhance System Performance And Reliability In Unbalanced Distribution Networks, Dong Zhang, G. M. Shafiullah, Choton K. Das, Kok W. Wong

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

The continuously increasing renewable distributed generation (DG) penetration rate significantly reduces environmental pollution and power generation cost and satisfies society’s rapid growth in electricity demand. Nevertheless, high penetration of renewable DGs, such as wind power and photovoltaics (PV), might deteriorate the system’s efficiency and reliability due to its intermittent and stochastic natures. Introducing battery energy storage systems (BESSs) to the distribution system provides a practical method to compensate for the above deficiency since it can deliver and absorb power when needed. Hence, it is important to determine the optimal allocation of BESS to achieve maximum assistance in the grid. This …

An Optimal Allocation And Sizing Strategy Of Distributed Energy Storage Systems To Improve Performance Of Distribution Networks, Choton K. Das, Octavian Bass, Thair S. Mahmoud, Ganesh Kothapalli, Mohammad A. S. Masoum, Navid Mousavi

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

The allocation of grid-scale energy storage systems (ESSs) can play a significant role in solving distribution network issues and improving overall network performance. This paper presents a strategy for optimal allocation and sizing of distributed ESSs through P and Q injection by the ESSs to a distribution network. The investigation is carried out in a renewable-penetrated (wind and solar) medium voltage IEEE-33 bus distribution network for two different scenarios: (1) using a uniform ESS size and (2) using non-uniform ESS sizes. DIgSILENT PowerFactory is used for system modeling and testing, and simulation events are automated using Python scripting. A hybrid …


Smart Management Strategies Of Utility-Scale Energy Storage Systems In Power Networks, Choton Kanti Das Jun 2019

Smart Management Strategies Of Utility-Scale Energy Storage Systems In Power Networks, Choton Kanti Das

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Power systems are presently experiencing a period of rapid change driven by various interrelated issues, e.g., integration of renewables, demand management, power congestion, power quality requirements, and frequency regulation. Although the deployment of Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) has been shown to provide effective solutions to many of these issues, misplacement or non-optimal sizing of these systems can adversely affect network performance. This present research has revealed some novel working strategies for optimal allocation and sizing of utility-scale ESSs to address some important issues of power networks at both distribution and transmission levels. The optimization strategies employed for ESS placement and …


Optimal Allocation Of Distributed Energy Storage Systems To Improve Performance And Power Quality Of Distribution Networks, Choton K. Das, Octavian Bass, Thair S. Mahmoud, Ganesh Kothapalli, Navid Mousavi, Daryoush Habibi, Mohammad A.S. Masoum Jan 2019

Optimal Allocation Of Distributed Energy Storage Systems To Improve Performance And Power Quality Of Distribution Networks, Choton K. Das, Octavian Bass, Thair S. Mahmoud, Ganesh Kothapalli, Navid Mousavi, Daryoush Habibi, Mohammad A.S. Masoum

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

The placement of grid-scale energy storage systems (ESSs) can have a significant impact on the level of performance improvements of distribution networks. This paper proposes a strategy for optimal allocation of distributed ESSs in distribution networks to simultaneously minimize voltage deviation, flickers, power losses, and line loading. The optimal ESS allocation is investigated through the PQ injection (considering a variable power factor on the dispatch of ESSs) and the results are compared in terms of performance and power quality improvements. An IEEE-33 bus distribution system (medium voltage), having a high influence of renewable (wind and solar) distributed generation, is used …
