Abstract
The introduction of renewable sources poses new
challenges to power systems operation. Their impact on
distribution networks urges the need of a more flexible grid that
can ensure high reliability and power quality as well as
operational efficiency.
Distributed storage systems may address those emerging
challenges by covering operational needs of power, response time
and energy. This paper describes a methodology for optimal
sizing of distributed storage through technical and economic
assessment and storage scheduling optimization.
A case study synopsis of voltage regulation and renewable
energy time-shift application to LV and MV networks is
presented.
