Abstract: The penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs) is increasing in modern power systems. However, the uncertainties of RESs pose challenges to distribution system operations, such as RES curtailment. Demand response (DR) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are flexible countermeasures for distribution-system operators. In this context, this study proposes an optimization model that considers DR and BESSs and develops a simulation analysis platform representing a medium-sized distribution system with high penetration of RESs. First, BESSs and DR were employed to minimize the total expenses of the distribution system operation, where the BESS model excluding binary state variables was adopted. Second, a simulation platform based on a modified IEEE 123 bus system was developed via MATLAB/Simulink for day-ahead scheduling analysis of the distribution system with a high penetration of RESs. The simulation results indicate the positive effects of DR implementation, BESS deployment, and permission for electricity sales to the upper utility on decreasing RES curtailment and distribution system operation costs. Noticeably, the RES curtailments became zero with the permission of bidirectional power flow. In addition, the adopted BESS model excluding binary variables was also validated. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed simulation analysis platform for day-ahead scheduling was demonstrated.
