Abstract

The enhancement of energy efficiency in a distribution network can be attained through the adding of energy storage systems (ESSs). The strategic placement and appropriate sizing of these systems have the potential to significantly enhance the overall performance of the network. An appropriately dimensioned and strategically located energy storage system has the potential to effectively address peak energy demand, optimize the addition of renewable and distributed energy sources, assist in managing the power quality and reduce the expenses associated with expanding distribution networks. This study proposes an efficient approach utilizing the Dandelion Optimizer (DO) to find the optimal placement and sizing of ESSs in a distribution network. The goal is to reduce the overall annual cost of the system, which includes expenses related to power losses, voltage deviation, and peak load damand. The methods outlined in this study is implemented on the IEEE 33 bus distribution system. The outcomes obtained from the proposed DO are contrasted with those of the original system so as to illustrate the impact of ESSs location on both the overall cost and voltage profile. Furthermore, a comparison is made between the outcomes of the Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) and the intended Design of Experiment DO, revealing that the DO has obtained greater savings in comparison to the ALO. The recommended methodology’s simplicity and efficacy in resolving the researched optimization issue make the acquired locations and sizes of ESSs favorable for implementation within the system.
