Optimal configuration of the energy storage system in ADN considering energy storage operation strategy and dynamic characteristic

Abstract

To meet the needs of energy storage system configuration with distributed power supply and its operation in the active distribution network (ADN), establish the dynamics of the all‐vanadium redox flow battery energy storage system (BESS). On this basis, an energy storage operation of ADN strategy is proposed to stabilise the power fluctuation of the system. The energy storage configuration model with optimising objectives such as the fixed cost, operating cost, direct economic benefit and environmental benefit of the BESS in the life cycle of the energy is constructed, and the energy storage installation capacity, power and installation position are used as decision variables, which are solved by the dynamic programming algorithm. On the basis of case 33 and case 69 node examples and typical daily load and distributed generations output curve, the simulation analysis is carried out to obtain the optimal configuration result. At the same time, the system tie‐line power and the dynamic characteristics of the energy storage system before and after the installation of the energy storage device are obtained. The simulation results show the validity of the model.
