A study of allocation planning of dispersed electrical and thermal energy systems into distribution networks-optimal operation planning

The authors have so far studied a framework of an optimal placement problem of dispersed type of cogeneration systems and energy storage systems into distribution networks. The framework has included operation planning and installation capacity estimations before deployment planning. However, the procedures of them were very simple and not enough to reflect the actual situations. In this paper, a new framework is presented that includes other thermal energy sources and provides a more practical operation of them. In order to illustrate improved points, some numerical simulations are carried out by using test data.
