Energy Savings in Renewable Integrated Distribution Network and Impact of Storage Devices

Abstract— Energy loss reduction is a significant issue for Renewable energy planning in the Distribution system. The high penetration of wind and solar became the primary task for the optimal size of energy storage to support the power mismatch. In the present work, energy savings have been obtained in a renewable integrated distribution system. The impact of the energy storage device has also been evaluated. The main contribution of this paper is:

1. Optimal location of DGs and battery are obtained by solving single and multi-objective functions.
2. Determination of DG and battery size for loss savings.
3. Impact of battery energy storage device on loss profile and total cost of the system.

The simulation results of the test system have been compared with other existing results.
