Abstract
The paper deals with energy storage systems applications in Smart Grids. Several services can be performed thanks to the energy storage systems use, with objectives aimed at meeting needs internal or external to the Smart Grid. Optimal nonlinear constrained problems can be formulated and properly solved in order to perform the services in the best economical and technical way. In this paper, optimal control strategies are proposed in order to allow the Smart Grid to minimize internal losses and to sell energy and ancillary services during high power prices periods. The procedure involves the formulation of optimal power flow problems; proper objective functions and constraints are imposed to satisfying the services that have to be carried out. A numerical application on a 30-bus low voltage Smart Grid shows the effectiveness of the proposed procedure.
