Active management of renewable energy sources for maximizing power production

This paper proposes a multi-objective benefit function for operation of active distribution systems considering demand response program (DRP) and energy storage system (ESS). In the active distribution system, active network management (ANM) is applied so that the distribution system equipment is controlled in real-time status based on the real-time measurements of system parameters (voltages and currents). The multi-objective optimization problem is solved using e-constraint method, and a fuzzy satisfying approach has been employed to select the best compromise solution. Two different objective functions are considered as follows: benefit maximization of distribution company (DisCo); benefit maximization of distributed generation owner (DGO). To increase the benefits and efficient implementation of distributed generation (DG), DGO has installed battery as energy storage system (ESS) in parallel with DG unit. Consequently, DGO decides for the battery charging/discharging. DisCo has the ability to exchange energy with the upstream network and DGO. Also, DisCo focuses to study the effect of demand response program (DRP) on total benefit function and consequently its influence on the load profile has been discussed. This model is successfully applied to a 33-bus radial distribution network.

“…The DGs could provide a solution to economic and environmental challenges that are caused by conventional power plants. Economically, DGs have usually lower construction cost compared to traditional power plants with the required transmission lines . Furthermore, using DGs could decrease energy losses in distribution networks, and hence, the cost of delivered energy will also decrease .…”

Summary It is expected that the use of distributed generation (DG) will increase sharply in distribution systems, especially with the realization of smart grids. In spite of the benefits of DG in distribution systems, high penetration level of DGs could cause some challenges for the network. Therefore, the optimal sizing and siting of DGs should be identified carefully. In addition, different operating conditions have to be taken into account in this process. The DGs are usually installed depending on optimal siting and sizing techniques considering normal operating periods. During repairing fault periods, different locations and capacities of DGs may be preferable. In this paper, 2 scenarios of switching strategies are presented for attaining the optimal sizing and siting of DGs during repairing fault period starting from the optimal allocation obtained for normal operating period. Genetic algorithm is used for solving the optimization problem that is implemented for an actual loop distribution system in Egypt.
