Optimal Design of Community Battery Energy Storage Systems With Prosumers Owning Electric Vehicles

This paper presents a novel approach that aims to assist a distribution system operator to intelligently design the community battery energy storage systems considering high penetration of prosumers equipped with rooftop solar photovoltaics and electric vehicles. The design problem is mathematically formulated after incorporating the battery storage system's cost model. The results show the capability of the proposed approach to optimally design the community battery energy storage systems. This results in improving the voltage profile, reducing the power loss, and mitigating the distribution transformer aging while attaining a profit from the energy arbitrage. Also, the obtained results show a positive net present value of using the community battery energy storage systems, which demonstrates the cost-effectiveness of the proposed optimal design approach. The proposed approach may represent an effective tool for future disturbed energy resources management systems.
