Research topics from publications: Coordinated Control of Distributed Energy Storage System With Tap Changer Transformers for Voltage Rise Mitigation Under High Photovoltaic Penetration; Sizing Strategy of Distributed Battery Storage System With High Penetration of Photovoltaic for Voltage Regulation and Peak Load Shaving; A cost effective battery sizing strategy based on a detailed battery lifetime model and an economic energy management strategy. Representative work: This paper proposes a coordinated control of distributed energy storage system (ESS) with traditional voltage regulators including the on-load tap changer transformers (OLTC) and step voltage regulators (SVR) to solve the voltage rise problem caused by the high photovoltaic (PV) penetration in the low-voltage distribution network. The main objective of this coordinated control is to relieve the tap changer transformer operation stress, shave the distribution network peak load and decrease the transmission and distribution resistive power losses under high solar power penetration. The proposed control method limits the energy storage depth of discharge in order to meet a more than ten-year cy This paper proposes an effective sizing strategy for distributed battery energy storage system (BESS) in the distribution networks under high photovoltaic (PV) penetration level. The main objective of the proposed method is to optimize the size of the distributed BESS and derive the cost-benefit analysis when the distributed BESS is applied for voltage regulation and peak load shaving. In particular, a system model that includes a physical battery model and a voltage regulation and peak load shaving oriented energy management system (EMS) is developed to apply the proposed strategy. The cost-benefit analysis presented in this paper considers factors of BESS influence on the work stress of vo
