Hosting Capacity Enhancement Utilizing Small Pumped-Hydro Storages in Rural Distribution Networks

Renewable energy sources (RESs) are growing exponentially due to need for sustainable energy. The hosting capacity (HC) is the amount of RESs that can be installed in a distribution network without exceeding its operational limitations, such as bus voltages and line flows. Energy storage systems (ES...

description Renewable energy sources (RESs) are growing exponentially due to need for sustainable energy. The hosting capacity (HC) is the amount of RESs that can be installed in a distribution network without exceeding its operational limitations, such as bus voltages and line flows. Energy storage systems (ESSs) have been utilized to enhance the HC in the literature. However, high investment cost of ESSs is the main obstacle to their widespread deployment. This highlights value of multipurpose energy storages (MPESs) that have multiple purposes besides the electrical aspect. Potential in the irrigation of the agriculture sector based on small pumped-hydro storages (PHSs) has been employed in this paper to enhance the HC of rural distribution networks. For this purpose, a new practical model has been proposed for the PHS considering residential and agricultural water consumption management. Also, the HC of the distribution network for photovoltaic is investigated based on a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model. Simulation results on the IEEE 33-bus test system in GAMS and the comparison with the ESSs showed that the PHSs in addition to their main application increase the HC by 70 kW and reduce the cost and losses by 36 kWh and $47,562, respectively.
