The effect of installing CHP and ESS on distribution networks

The average efficiency of a power generator is about 35% and the average efficiency of a boiler is 90%. While theaverage efficiency of a CHP system is above 85%. The CHP is usually located at place of consumer and the losses due tothe transmission line disappear. CHP fuel is of a kind of gas and it consumes less fuel than similar systems, it has lesspollution than other systems. The study was conducted on an IEEE 33-bay network, and active and reactive loads areplanned as a 24-hour scheduling. The results show the performance of the system in terms of losses and voltage profiles.Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has also been used to optimize and solve this problem. Also, in this paper, the effect ofenergy storage system is investigated.
