Abstract: The penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) in the power system is increasing in the recent years. Integrating the energy storage systems (ESS) into the network can increase the reliability of the system and facilitate the penetration of renewable RES. Among different kinds of ESS, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are compact and faster. Optimal sizing and location of the BESS in network which is essential to decrease the overall cost of the system is done with Genetic Algorithm (GA). To account the stochastic nature of RES, a probabilistic approach is adopted and the optimal operation of BESS is determined using Forest Optimization Algorithm (FOA).
