Abstract
Distributed generations (DGs) such as solar and wind generations are used as generation source in the microgrid. Due to the fluctuation of renewable energy sources, the battery energy storage system (BESS) is one of the essential components to control and improve the quality of power microgrid. However, a placement for BESS installation with minimizing line loss is one of the most concern problems. This paper aims to determine the optimal location of the BESS by using the analytical method with the line loss sensitivity index. A multi-period optimal power flow (OPF) and line loss analysis with BESS parameters were investigated considering the daily operation of a microgrid in connected mode. The simulation performed on the microgrid that wants to keep total power generation from DGs in BESS and low energy consumption from the utility. Microgrid includes 3 DGs (biomass, solar and wind turbine generators) to assess the robustness of BESS placement. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the presented method. The optimal location of BESS can reduce line power loss and power consumption from the utility.
