Abstract: Climate change is encouraging a growing interest worldwide to increase
renewable distributed generation (DG) integration into the power grid. DG is free
from greenhouse gas emissions and can assist in mitigating the energy crisis and
reducing energy costs. However, due to its variable nature and bidirectional power
flows, high penetration of such DGs, particularly solar and wind, might create
significant problems. Some of the issues could be related to reduced power quality,
excessive power loss, and low utilization rate of power equipment. Optimal DG
allocation can effectively alleviate these challenges by enhancing voltage
stability, relieving the overloads of feeders, and improving the reliability of the
power grid. Introducing energy storage systems (ESSs) in the network provide
another possible approach to solve the above problems by stabilizing voltage and
frequency. Therefore, it is essential to allocate distributed ESSs optimally on the
distribution network to fully exploit their advantages. Enormous research effort
has been put into these areas over the last decade by industries, utilities, and
research communities. This paper presents an extensive review on the optimal
planning and deployment of DGs, ESSs, and coordinated DGs and ESSs. This paper also
will look at their strengths and weaknesses, the barriers to their implementation,
and the associated technologies used in their implementation. Finally, this paper
reviews the methods of uncertainty modelling in DG and ESS planning and their
merits and drawbacks. This review includes a survey of the deployment planning
approaches and investigates challenges with recommendations for future deployment.
This review will be beneficial for use by utilities, researchers, investors, and
stakeholders when considering the future deployment of DGs and ESSs in distribution
networks to ensure a reliable and sustainable power system.
