Abstract

The vigorous development of the energy sector relying on renewable energy power plants and advanced distribution networks has considerably heightened interest in energy storage systems. Battery energy storage systems can resolve an extensive range of various issues, such as uneven RES-based power generation, load peaks, and power quality in distribution networks. The primary challenge in integrating battery storage systems arises at the design phase and is associated with the choice of their capacity and sites for installation within power grids. These parameters are determined considering the minimal construction and operating costs, while ensuring electricity supply to all consumers. Following the above, the study formulates the problem of sizing and siting battery storage systems in a power grid. An objective function and a system of constraints are established. Based on the developed formulation, calculations are carried out on a test diagram of the power grid. Conclusions are made based on the calculation results.
