Abstract :
This paper studies the problem of optimally placing large-scale energy storage in power grids with both conventional and wind generation. The solution technique for this infinite horizon problem assumes cyclic demand and generation profiles using a semidefinite relaxation of AC optimal power flow. Changes in storage allocation in the network are studied as a function of total storage budget and transmission line-flow constraints. These questions are investigated using an IEEE benchmark system with various generation portfolios.
