Planejamento de bancos de baterias em sistemas de distribuição de energia

Abstract

This work presents an application for the operation planning of battery storage systems in electricity distribution networks with penetration of distributed generation from renewable sources of energy. For this, the an optimal power flow algorithm is applied with the inclusion of the power supplied or absorbed by battery banks as an optimization variable in the developed model. The objective is that the battery banks insertion impacts on the reduction of energy and reliability costs of the network, and, as a consequence, to lead in the reduction of the total costs of the distribution network in a long term operation period. The choice for a meta-heuristic called SIA is due their ability to deal with large scale problems, in which an exhaustive search would not be feasible. Analysis using five battery types applied to four well known systems in literature are performed to validate the proposed methodology. Results presented demonstrate the applicability of the proposed methodology, as well as the feasibility of using battery banks in energy distribution networks.
