Optimal siting and sizing of hybrid PV and wind energy distribution network.

To mitigate the impact of HES variations on power generation reliability and quality, this paper proposes an appropriate placement and sizing of the battery energy storage system (BESS) in distribution networks with hybrid energy sources (HES) of distribution network operators (DNO). The daily cost incurred by the distribution network as a result of voltage deviation, power losses, and peak demands is taken into consideration while determining the ideal location and size of the BESS. IEEE 33-bus distribution network is used to test and evaluate the simulation findings of the BESS installation in the field. For this optimization problem, the genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are used to solve it, and the results achieved from these two techniques are compared. When comparing the results of the BESS installation in the distribution network to the results of the case without BESS installation, the voltage variation, power losses, and peak demands are all lower than in the case with BESS installation.
