This paper deals with the revenue targeting for a prosumer with solar photovoltaic generation and storage. We consider inelestic prosumer load demand under time-varying prices for two types of billing policy, namely Net Energy Metering (NEM) and Gross Energy Metering (GEM). The storage enables to exploit the price fluctuations by shifting consumpti...

A new, improved modified Newton Raphson (IMNR) load flow method is proposed for AC islanded mi-crogrids. The absence of a strong slack bus and the droop control of distributed generation (DG) units pose challenges that can not be tackled by the conventional load flow techniques. The proposed load flow method extends the traditional Newton-Raphson t...

A method of optimal siting and sizing of the battery-based energy storage system (BESS) is presented in this paper. The BESS is installed with an objective to minimize the operating cost of the microgrid. The BESS site is chosen based on a new index proposed called Locational Economic Driving Force, which is based on locational marginal price (LMP)...

Renewable energy sources are becoming popular day by day for distributed generation as technology is becoming cheaper and modular. Power loss reduction is a powerful incentive for a distribution system operator to promote distributed generation. This paper presents a method to minimize annual energy losses through the integration of nondispatchable...

This work presents a method for optimal sizing of a battery-based energy storage system (BESS) in a droop controlled islanded microgrid (DCIMG). The proposed method checks the economic feasibility of installing a given battery unit and finds the optimal size of BESS which minimizes the running cost. The optimal sizing problem is successfully integr...
