Abstract

In this paper, a model has been simulated for estimating the optimal size of an energy storage system in a power system for the given penetration of RES considering the total cost and reliability criterion using the Wien Automatic System Planning (WASP-IV) package which uses Dynamic Programming optimization technique. In future power system, the contribution of Renewable energy sources (RES) such as wind, solar etc., is unavoidable since it reduces the reliance on the fossil fuels and the greenhouse gas emissions in the electric power industries. In general, all the RES are intermittent and variable in nature. The variability of these sources has led to disquiet regarding the reliability of an electric grid. To maintain the required level of reliability it is absolutely necessary to use an energy storage system. It is a matter of rising intermittent renewable energy and growing high demand that we encourage more energy storage. The use of energy storage is a critical part of potential energy networks using vast quantities of intermittent renewable resources.
