Abstract

The increasing demand for electrical energy, coupled with the growth of distributed generation, presents challenges in managing distribution networks. Fluctuations in renewable sources generation and demand variation require effective solutions, such as the integration of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The proposed methodology, implemented in AMPL, aims to minimize losses and improve voltage profile, considering the operational constraints of the network and BESS. The proposed multi-objective function considers energy losses and voltage deviation over a one-week time period, divided into one-hour intervals. Tests conducted on a 69-bus distribution system, with the insertion of renewable sources, showed promising results. The weekly operation of the BESS resulted in a significant reduction in energy losses compared to daily operation. Furthermore, the BESS’s ability to provide reactive power contributed to improving the voltage profile.
