Optimal Allocation and Battery Operations for Voltage Constraint and Loss Reduction

摘要

The load increase brings the need for the insertion of new technologies in Distribution Systems. In this scenario, batteries can be an alternative for reducing losses and maintaining voltages at specified limits. In this paper a method to allocate and optimize the charge and discharge of batteries considering the variation of the load in the system, in order to reduce electrical losses and maintain the voltages between specified limits, using genetic algorithms will be presented. The proposed method is applied to the IEEE 34 Bus Test Case and alternative allocations, considering different characteristics, are performed.
