An Analysis of the Energy Storage for Improving the Reliability of Distribution Networks

Abstract

Apparent power in the soft-open pointVoltage magnitude and angle at bus i Chapter 2Literature Review: Reliability Assessment of Active Distribution NetworksReliability assessment tools are of crucial importance for planning power distribution systems. In recent years there has been an increased deployment of renewable energy, distributed generation, energy storage, electric vehicle, protection device automation and demand response schemes in the distribution system, leading to the creation of the term Active Distribution Networks (ADNs). All these technologies contribute in their own way to the network reliability. The objective of this chapter is to provide a critical literature review of the reliability assessment techniques used for the evaluation of distribution networks, emphasising the importance of an increased penetration of distributed energy resources and a more widespread application of control, protection and communication technologies. A detailed analysis and a comparison between different techniques used for the reliability assessment will be provided for each technology. Most of the content of this chapter has been already published in [10].

AI in renewable energy: A review of predictive maintenance and energy optimization

“…Machine learning algorithms can identify patterns and correlations within the data that human operators might overlook (Shameer et al, 2018). This insight can be leveraged to fine-tune energy production, storage, and distribution processes, ultimately improving the overall efficiency and reliability of renewable energy systems (Escalera et al, 2018). Prediction is a cornerstone of effective energy management, and AI excels in creating sophisticated models for forecasting renewable energy output.…”

Reliability Assessment of Distribution Power System When Considering Energy Storage Configuration Technique

“…Reliability can be divided into two basic parts, which are defined as system capability and system security. The ESS is frequently used both in the face of developing energy demands and to facilitate the integration of renewable energy into distribution power grids [3]. The capacity of ESS must be enough concerning the demanded energy demand and safety, which dynamically responds to the failure of the PS.…”

Research on capacity optimization of micro-grid hybrid energy storage system based on simulated annealing artificial fish swarm algorith with memory function

“…However, the intermittent and extremely unstable wind energy and solar energy connected to the power grid will have an impact on the power system and seriously endanger the safe operation of the power grid [1] . In order to make wind energy and solar energy a continuous and stable energy source, and finally become an alternative energy source that can compete with conventional energy sources, certain energy storage devices must be configured in the wind-solar complementary power grid, which can effectively suppress the fluctuation of wind-solar output power [2] .…”
