Ubicación y dimensionamiento óptimo de sistemas de almacenamiento de energía basado en celdas de combustibles para microrredes híbridas

Abstract

In the current work, a methodology is shown to solve the problem of the location and optimal dimensioning of energy storage (AE), in order to provide an improvement in the technical, operational and economic characteristics that benefit the network operator. To solve this problem, two optimization procedures are used. The first procedure consists of finding the optimal location and size of the AE in the electrical network through optimal power flows. The second procedure evaluates the results provided by the first procedure through an electrical dispatch to determine the operation of the electrical system. The proposed optimization models consider two objective functions, the minimization of power losses and the minimization of the benefits obtained from the implementation of AE in the distribution network. The results obtained based on the proposed methodology show the effectiveness of the proposed models and at the same time reflect the great importance of considering the costs of reducing energy losses, energy purchase savings and the value of EAs.
