Abstract
This paper proposes optimal strategies for control of distributed Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) to minimize Demand Charge (DC) cost and maximize local Photovoltaic (PV) utilization for Commercial & Industrial Buildings. Reducing DC cost has a direct impact on customer's electricity bill while increasing local PV utilization can help the efficient operation of distribution systems. Model-based optimization methods are presented for each individual objective. Furthermore, a multi-objective control strategy has been implemented and studied to show the possibility of stacking both services on a single ESS. Simulation studies are carried out to show optimal operation of a sample ESS unit in each scenario.
