Joint Distribution Network and Renewable Energy Expansion Planning Considering Demand Response and Energy Storage—Part II: Numerical Results

The second part of this two-paper series analyzes the incorporation of demand response (DR) and energy storage systems (ESSs) in the joint distribution and generation expansion planning for the isolated system of La Graciosa, Canary Islands, Spain. Based on the stochastic programming model developed in its companion paper, the impact of DR and ESS on the location and size of new generation and storage units and the distribution assets to be installed, reinforced, or replaced are defined. Numerical results illustrate the effective performance of the proposed approach. Additionally, a set of metrics showing the welfare achieved by the different stakeholders has been implemented.
