Abstract

distribution network to boost energy efficacy. The investigation specifically scrutinizes the integration of BESS into the distribution network feeder, both in the presence and absence of distributed photovoltaic penetration, with a focus on enhancing load factor and power factor. Utilizing the OpenDSS software with a Python interface, simulations were conducted to assess a range of scenarios involving the injection and absorption of active and reactive power. The outcomes underscore noteworthy enhancements in both load factor and power factor at the feeder output. Additionally, the integration of BESS exhibits a reduction in power losses along the feeder. These findings offer valuable perspectives for advancing energy efficiency in distribution networks, and have implications for future research and practical implementation.
