In the past decade, energy storage systems (ESSs) as one of the structural units of the smart grids have experienced a rapid growth in both technical maturity and cost effectiveness. These devices propose diverse applications in the power systems especially in distribution networks. Despite offering numerous applications, the ESSs are new devices characterized by high investment costs. Besides technological advancement, optimal ESS planning and scheduling is one of the effective ways to reduce the costs and justifying high investment costs by taking their benefits out as much as possible. During the past few years, various studies have been conducted by the researcher to address the problem of optimal ESS planning in distribution networks. In this context, various models, methods, and considerations have been proposed to enhance the functionality of optimal planning process. The aim of this paper is to review the problem of optimal ESS planning including optimal bus location, power rating, and energy capacity determination in the distribution networks. In order to facilitate continuing and growing research in this field, a comprehensive literature survey and classification of the related studies followed by research gaps and future opportunities is provided.

Comprehensive overview of optimizing PV-DG allocation in power system and solar energy resource potential assessments

This paper presents a taxonomical survey on distributed generation (DG) planning from the distribution power system performances viewpoint. The distribution power system performance indices such as minimization of real power loss index, minimization of reactive power loss index, improvement of voltage profile index, short circuit current capacity index, System Average Interruption Duration Index ( SAIDI), and Customers Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) are consider in this work as major issue in distribution power systems. Such performances can enhance by conventional/traditional devices as well as DG technologies planning such as fuel cell, bio gas, wind turbine, photovoltaic, solar, geo-thermal, tidal and wave etc. In this paper also presents the current status of DG planning in the distribution power systems from the distribution power system performances viewpoints. This survey article is very much useful for scientific person, engineer, industrial person and researchers regarding with DG planning in the distribution power systems from the power system performances viewpoints.
