Optimal integration of mobile battery energy storage in distribution system with renewables

Abstract

An optimal sizing method is proposed in this paper for mobile battery energy storage system (MBESS) in the distribution system with renewables. The optimization is formulated as a bi-objective problem, considering the reliability improvement and energy transaction saving, simultaneously. To evaluate the reliability of distribution system with MBESS and intermittent generation sources, a new framework is proposed, which is based on zone partition and identification of circuit minimal tie sets. Both analytic and simulation methods for reliability assessment are presented and compared in the framework. Case studies on a modified IEEE benchmark system have verified the performance of the proposed approach.
