Optimal planning of hybrid electric-hydrogen energy storage systems via multi-objective particle swarm optimization
Abstract
Abstract: In recent years, hydrogen is rapidly developing because it is environmentally friendly and sustainable. In this case, hydrogen energy storage systems (HESSs) can be widely used in the distribution network. The application of hybrid electric-hydrogen energy storage systems can solve the adverse effects caused by renewable energy access to the distribution network. In order to ensure the rationality and effectiveness of energy storage systems (ESSs) configuration, economic indicators of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) and hydrogen energy storage systems, power loss, and voltage fluctuation are chosen as the fitness function in this paper. Meanwhile, multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) is used to solve Pareto non-dominated set of energy storage systems’ optimal configuration scheme, in which the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) based on information entropy weight (IEW) is used select the optimal solution in Pareto non-dominated solution set. Based on the extended IEEE-33 system and IEEE-69 system, the rationality of energy storage systems configuration scheme under 20% and 35% renewable energy penetration rate is analyzed. The simulation results show that the power loss can be reduced by 7.9%–22.8% and the voltage fluctuation can be reduced by 40.0%–71% when the renewable energy penetration rate is 20% and 35% respectively in IEEE-33 and 69 nodes systems. Therefore, it can be concluded that the locations and capacities of energy storage systems obtained by multi-objective particle swarm optimization can improve the distribution network stability and economy after accessing renewable generation.
