Optimal capacity and placement of battery energy storage systems for integrating renewable energy sources in distribution system

Abstract: Battery energy storage can bring benefits to multiply stakeholders in the distribution system. The integration of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and renewable energy sources with the existing power system networks has many challenges. One of the major challenges is to determine the capacity and connection location of the BESS in the distribution system. The installation of BESS units at suboptimal places may increase the cost, including system losses and installation of larger battery capacity. So, it is essential to have a method capable of analyzing the influence of BESS allocation and sizing on power distribution system performance. In this paper, a loss sensitivity based algorithm is proposed for optimal placement of the BESS in the distribution system to reduce the distribution system losses. This paper also presents an algorithm for determining the optimal size of the BESS using particle swarm optimization technique. An electrical distribution utility system data in Ontario have been used to show the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Monomeric and Dimeric Oxidomolybdenum(V and VI) Complexes, Cytotoxicity, and DNA Interaction Studies: Molybdenum Assisted C═N Bond Cleavage of Salophen Ligands

Abstract: Four novel dimeric bis-μ-imido bridged metal–metal bonded oxidomolybdenum(V) complexes [MoV2O2L′21–4] (1–4) (where L′1–4 are rearranged ligands formed in situ from H2L1–4) and a new mononuclear dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complex [MoVIO2L5] (5) synthesized from salen type N2O2 ligands are reported. This rare series of imido-bridged complexes (1–4) have been furnished from rearranged H3L′1–4 ligands, containing an aromatic diimine (o-phenylenediamine) “linker”, where Mo assisted hydrolysis followed by −C═N bond cleavage of one of the arms of the ligand H2L1–4 took place. A monomeric molybdenum(V) intermediate species [MoVO(HL′1–4)(OEt)] (Id1–4) was generated in situ. The concomitant deprotonation and dimerization of two molybdenum(V) intermediate species (Id1–4) ultimately resulted in the formation of a bis-μ-imido bridge between the two molybdenum centers of [MoV2O2L′21–4] (1–4). The mechanism of formation of 1–4 has been discussed, and one of the rare intermediate monomeric molybdenum(V) species Id4 has been i...
