Modeling and Load Flow Analysis for Al-Bayda City Network Integrating Battery Energy Storage and Photovoltaic System

Given the problems faced by the electrical network from sagging voltage and increased demand for energy, which lead us to develop the network through the integration of renewable energies and storage systems. The aim of this study is evaluating the integration of battery energy storage system (BESS) and photovoltaic system (PVS) into the medium voltage (MV) network of the city of Al-Bayda. Initially, the electrical network of the city will be modeled and simulated by the Electrical Transient Analyzer Power (ETAP) software under three load types which are the normal, summer, and winter conditions. Then, the integration of both BESS and PVS will be simulated and analyzed. The findings of this study clearly show that BESS with PVs do improve the voltage of MV stations and do reduce the electrical consamption from the grid.
