Abstract

Advanced information and communication technology (ICT) enables interoperability among entities, particularly those who own distributed energy resources (DERs) such as energy storage system (ESS) and distributed generation (DG). In this paper, we address the optimal allocation of ESS and gas-fired DG in a 'thin' distribution system. The formulated objective is to minimize the sum of the annualized investment cost, the expected profit and the imbalance cost in the two-stage of scheduling. This paper presents the opportunity to consider the financial benefits of this type of thin grid to each party: the housing developer, the customers, the network and the aggregator. Two key factors in the financial benefits available from the project are the realized demand management versus the planned network connection size and the installed costs of the deployed distributed energy resources. We present preliminary analysis of the key parameters of the case study, how the financial benefits to the different parties can be calculated and the key sensitivities to those economic outcomes. The proposed model is verified on the modified IEEE 15-bus distribution radial system. © 2018 IEEE.
