Multi-objective Model for Optimal Integration of Dispersed Generation and Energy Storage Systems in Electric Power Distribution Networks Expansion

摘要

This paper presents a multi-objective model for planning studies of power distribution systems. The methodology determines optimal economic costs, "pollution", reliability, and power losses in electric power distribution networks expansion for optimal integration of alternative dispersed generation sources and energy storage systems. The proposed optimal multi-objective planning model can be very useful in determining the most satisfactory selection of investments to meet new energetic, environmental and electric service quality targets from the point of view of new energy policies. This model was tested on a part of the electric power distribution system of La Rioja (Spain).
