Alocação e operação de unidade de armazenamento de energia na rede de distribuição

Abstract

As a means to address the growing energy demand and concerns related to global warming, renewable energy sources have been widely integrated into the power grid. Many of these sources take the form of distributed photovoltaic generation, which heavily relies on climatic resources and exhibits intermittent and fluctuating characteristics. To mitigate these variabilities, battery energy storage systems have been widely accepted as one of the potential solutions, offering advantages such as fast response capability, sustained power delivery, and geographic independence. In this context, this study focuses on the optimal allocation and operation of energy storage units in distribution networks. The objective is to identify an optimal location and operational strategy that minimizes losses. To achieve these goals, this research utilizes a particle swarm optimization methodology in conjunction with the OpenDSS software.
