Determination of optimum size of storage in micro-network for loss reduction using smart method

One of the major challenges in the world is the need for energy resources due to its increasing demand and this demand is constantly increasing. In this regard, this paper presents a new method to determine the optimal location and size of energy storage in the micro grid by considering discrete models such as power supply and battery charge and discharge to meet technical objectives such as loss reduction and economic objectives. Battery investment and maintenance costs are provided. Based on the results, it can be stated that the batteries will continue to charge and discharge according to the target function selected for their installation and capacity determination.
