The role of energy storage in transmission and distribution efficiency

摘要

Energy storage systems that are properly placed on the transmission system can be used to relieve transmission congestion [1]. Similarly, storage on distribution can be used to reduce peak loads [2]. The reduction in currents produced by congestion relief and peak reduction may also result in a decrease in line losses. Further efficiency improvements could be realized by optimizing the placement and scheduling of energy storage for loss reduction and efficiency improvement.
