Abstract

This paper studies an optimal design of grid topology and integrated photovoltaic (PV) and centralized battery energy storage considering techno-economic aspect in low voltage distribution systems for urban area in Cambodia. This work aims at searching for an optimal topology including size of the battery energy storage by two different methods over the planning study of 15 years. Firstly, the shortest path algorithm (SPA) and first-fit bin-packing algorithm (FFBPA) are used to find out the topology which minimize the line and the load balancing. Secondly, mixed integer quadratically constrained programming (MIQCP) algorithms are developed to search for a topology which minimize conductor use and the load balancing improvement. Next, Genetic algorithm is developed to size the maximum PV peak power connected into LV network with respected to voltage and current constraints. Then, the size of battery energy storage procedure is established in order to eliminate the reverse power flow going on medium voltage (MV) grid and to improve the autonomous operation time of system. A discounted cost method is used to evaluate the solutions for different methods. Lastly, an urban area in Cambodia is chosen as a case study in this paper. Simulation results confirm the proposed method in this research.
