Abstract

Energy storage is a type of support devices at the power system. Energy storage consists of many applications that depends on the location it is implemented. One of the applications of energy storage is Community Energy Storage (CES) that is installed at the distribution system purposely to boost feeder level benefits. The implementation of CES is crucial to prevent technical problems that usually occurred at the distribution system with renewable energy generation such as reverse power flow, uneven voltage profile, fluctuation of frequency and power losses. Besides, the alternative for economic problems faced by the customers which is high electricity prices during peak demand can also be recognized. These problems can be solved if the CES is properly managed in terms location and power capacity deployment. The main purpose of this report is to develop an optimal dispatch strategy of CES in terms of techno-economic benefits by using optimal power flow (OPF) method. The OPF method is solved in MATLAB by using Genetic Algorithm (GA) Tool. The techno-economic benefits are determined by the cost of electricity and the technical performance of the distribution system such as voltage distribution and peak demand. The OPF analysis is computed by using forward-backward sweep method. The developed dispatch strategy of CES in tested on the 15-bus radial distribution system since the test system located in residential area. Numerical results obtained show that the developed dispatch strategy of CES may reduce the electricity cost and peak demand while improves the voltage profile of the system.
