The deployment of energy storage systems (ESSs) is a significant avenue for maximising the energy efficiency of a distribution network, and overall network performance can be enhanced by their optimal placement, sizing, and operation.
Case4: The distribution network invests in the energy storage device, which is configured in the DER node to assist in improving the level of renewable energy consumption. The energy storage device can only obtain power from the DER and supply power to the distribution network but cannot purchase power from it.
Energy storage systems For distribution networks, an ESS converts electrical energy from a power network, via an external interface, into a form that can be stored and converted back to electrical energy when needed , , .
Typically, the distribution network operator (DNO) alone configures and manages the energy storage and distribution network, leading to a simpler benefit structure. , . Conversely, In the shared energy storage model, the energy storage operator and distribution network operator operate independently.
