The integration of MW scale solar energy in distribution power grids, using an energy storage system, will transform a weak distribution network into a smart distribution grid.
Substations with step-down transformers (and supporting hardware such as circuit breakers) change high-voltage electricity from transmission lines to a lower voltage. The path from high-voltage transmission lines to homes will include
This causes the transmission system operators (TSOs) perform the high voltage distribution network (HVDN) reconfiguration frequently. The frequent reconfiguration of the
1 Introduction. The expansion of city scales in recent years has promoted the high-density integration of distributed generation (DG), renewable energy, voltage-source converter (VSC) transmission technology and
The transmission voltage level is determined by the required transmission distance as well as the amount of power carried. A larger transmission voltage is chosen when dealing with longer distances or larger
Distribution substations are located at the end of the BPS transmission circuit. Within the distribution network, multiple distribution substations could step down the voltage and route
Typical applications for FACTS include fast voltage control, increased transmission capacity over long lines, power flow control in meshed systems, and power oscillation damping. With FACTS, more power can be
With the large-scale application of energy storage technology, the demand for power storage with large capacity and high voltage is expected to increase in future. The

Energy storage systems For distribution networks, an ESS converts electrical energy from a power network, via an external interface, into a form that can be stored and converted back to electrical energy when needed , , .
The power distribution system is the final stage in the delivery of electric power to individual customers. Distribution grids are managed by IOUs, Public Power Utilities (municipals), and Cooperatives (co-ops) that operate both inter- and intra-state. IOUs are typically regulated by state PUCs.
A transmission line’s power capacity, by contrast, specifies the maximum steady state power (current) the system is able to maintain under given conditions and is typically used to describe a connected system that depends on individual components.
Electricity transmission networks are designed to minimize power loss over long distances by transmitting power at high voltage. Power plants generally produce electricity at low voltages (5– 34.5 kilovolts (kV)). “Step up” substations are used to increase the voltage of generated power to allow for transmission over long distances.
The voltage profile management of large distribution networks is difficult because of the fluctuating behaviour of integrated RESs and load demands , but it is crucial for power quality improvement.
The focus of this primer is on the transmission and distribution segments: the power lines, substations, and other infrastructure needed to move power from generation sources to end users.
