Abstract: Abstract Decentralized power generation may lead to operational problems in electricity distribution networks, such as current overloads and too large voltages deviations. Storage systems can have a beneficial effect to alleviate these problems. However, these systems are relatively very expensive and have not been applied much in electricity grids in Europe. We present an optimization model which can be used to support the analysis of the operational benefits and investment cost of storage systems. It makes use of a simulated annealing approach to find good storage configurations, with a linear programming model to determine the load and optimal storage control, maintaining all the loadflow constraints. Our model seems to be an interesting approach to solving the storage location problems, and a promising approach to solve other investment problems.
