Summary
A methodology is presented for the selection of the optimal nodes of a radial distribution network with high penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) for the development of
Read more Read lessEnergy Storage Stations (ESSs). The problem is solved via mixed integer programming involving technical and non-technical network constraints. The latter include the thermal limits and short-circuit (SC) withstand capabilities of the equipment while the non-technical limitations are related to geography and the maximum energy storage capacity per node. This methodology was applied to the mainland Greek Medium Voltage distribution network with the goal of selecting the High/ Medium Voltage transformers most suitable for connecting
Battery Energy Storage Stations (BESS). A set of 70 optimal network nodes out of 230 were selected, effectively reallocating 900 MW of BESS capacity. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was performed to identify the most critical factors during the selection of the transformers. The study results were adopted by the Greek Ministry of Environment and Energy.
