Integrating Distributed Energy Storage Systems for Resilient, Low-Carbon, and Economically Viable Isolated Power Systems

Energy Storage Systems for Island Power Systems”, presented at the 50th CIGRE Session in 2024. The document presents the results of mathematical modelling of energy balances and power system operating modes for a power system equipped with a distributed energy storage system (DESS) over representative daily intervals; steady-state calculations, short-circuit current analysis, and large-disturbance stability assessments; as well as a quantitative evaluation of the reduction in CO₂ and other greenhouse gas emissions.

The topic is illustrated using the example of an abstract island power system with an electricity demand range of 400–1000 MW, in which, due to a limited number of owners of active power equipment, competitive electricity and ancillary services markets are absent. Real-world analogues of such a power system include comparable energy systems of Chukotka,

Kamchatka, and the Kaliningrad region in Russia, as well as Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands in the United States, the islands of Malta and Cyprus, and many others.
