Abstract :
This paper examines the impact that the installation of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) has on the daily scheduling and operation of the insular power system of Crete. An optimization model for the integration of BESS in the day-ahead unit commitment problem of isolated power systems is developed and annual simulations are carried out for BESSs of different dimensioning regarding power, capacity and efficiency. Simulation results for load leveling and reserve provision from BESS are presented and thoroughly discussed.
