TRANSMISSION NETWORK MANAGEMENT OF N-1 CONTINGENCIES IN THE 110 KV ATLÁNTICO NETWORK WITH BESS THROUGH LINEAR OPTIMIZATION: CASE STUDY

This article presents an implementation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for a transmission network. Methods: A linear optimization model in AMPL+CPLEX is used to establish the minimum sizes of batteries that can solve overloads in lines and transformers for N-1 contingencies of the 110 kV Atlántico network. Findings: The best solutions are sought in possible generation-demand scenarios of said network based on criteria such as minimum battery size and lower numbers of ‘non-feasible' cases related to N-1 contingency´s overloads. Improvement: The locations of batteries proposed by UPME, XM, and Quanta are tested as well as three proposed locations.
