Research on Optimal Configuration of Energy Storage Systems in Distribution Networks Based on Improved Imperial Competition Algorithm

The configuration of energy storage system in distribution network has become a hot spot in research and application. Considering its operating income and cost, the optimal allocation model of energy storage system is established. The improved imperialist competition algorithm is used to find the optimal solution of the model. The improved Imperial Competitive algorithm introduces Lévy flight behavior in the process of colonial assimilation to calculate the movement position of colonies, and proposes a migration mechanism for imperialist countries to accelerate the convergence process. The effectiveness of the model and algorithm is verified by simulation examples.
