Optimal Location and Sizing of BESS for PV Systems
This work aims to determine the optimum location of BESS to diminish power losses, employing the SPEA2 as a multi-objective optimization technique. To accurately the
The BESS capacity is 100 MW, the total load on the network is 5820 MW and the sudden load increase of 1350 MW was implemented after 5 s from the commencement of 10 s simulations. The various scenarios considered are: BESS model was disconnected from the network.
The BESS model was placed at a non-optimal location where the RoCoF has a maximum value. That is at bus 7 where the RoCoF is 0.7507 Hz/s (from PSO result, see Table 2) In the third scenario, the BESS was placed at a near-optimal location. This is at bus 6 where the RoCoF is 0.4749 Hz/s (from PSO results, see Table 2)
The installation of the BESS can reduce costs incurred in the systems, alleviate reverse power flow when the systems are in the high DG penetration level, and also achieve peak shaving during high demand.
It shows that BESS was delivering an active power of about 43.37 MW till at 5 s when there was a sudden load increase of 300 MW. The BESS in response to this, increased its active power injection to about 56.90 MW (releasing about 13.53 MW) for the compensation of active power deficit.
