Abstract—The modernization of regulation and legislation rules
of the power systems in nowadays is partially due the
penetration of renewable resources generation and an energy
store capability. The generation based on alternative source has
an intermittent pattern and its linkage with a hydroelectric
generation plant should be considered in the expansion of
generation matrix. Some pioneer projects are conducted in
Brazil that confirms this relevance. The battery energy storage
is another functionally possible today and must be considered in
the technical and economical analysis. This paper presents a
method based on evolutionary approach that intends to optimize
a time of delivery schedule and factor with objective of the
decrease the payback time. In front of the optimized time of
delivery schedule and factor is proposed an optimal law of
control of a battery storage system. Experimental data are
employed and the results reached could be used to better
operate energy storage systems and deal with regulation aspects.

I. INTRODUCTION
The electric sector has been undergoing transformations
and facing technical, economic and regulatory challenges
related to different factors, among which are: insertion of
dispersed and intermittent renewable generation sources and
their impact on the management of the system; Deployment of
energy storage systems; New possibilities and demands
brought about by intelligent networks; Frequent regulatory
uncertainties that pose serious risks to investors in the sector;
Inclusion of the environmental component in public policies
and citizen awareness [1-3].
The generation of electric energy from sources subject to
variations or discontinuities, is conditioned to the feasibility of
compensating them. However, an intermittent supply presents

operational problems that entail systemic costs, not always
computed in the evaluation of its competitiveness against
other supply options and in the definition of its price [3-4].
In Brazil has been considered that intermittent supply
would normally be offset by increased hydroelectric
generation. Yet, such a procedure is not always feasible or
economical, since the inflow to the reservoirs that have been
depleted to meet that unforeseen generation may be
insufficient. Alternatively, the compensation has to be made
by thermoelectric generation. Thus, it is evident the need to
minimize this intermittence, since its compensation, besides
having value, usually has cost, or fuel or use of storage of
hydroelectric [5-6]. Energy consumption has variation
throughout the day, lack of storage requires constant
adjustment of generation and can cause price volatility and
consequently market fluctuations. Hourly volatility reflects the
large disparity in production costs of different resources,
which leads to a sharply sloping market supply curve. This
curve added to a highly variable and inelastic demand curve
explains price volatility [7-9].
Thus, this paper intends to contribute in the optimization
of the Time of Delivery Schedule and Factor, in the
dimensioning of the energy storage system and in the optimal
operation of the storage system.
II. OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM TO PLANNING OF THE TIME
OF DELIVERY SCHEDULE AND FACTOR
A. Problem definition and its restrictions
Todays the price of energy is uniform over the day and
over the year in the most of generation segment. This price is
stated at auction section, which occurs periodically. This
particularity tends to be changed according to the international
scenario. An example is the one practiced in California, with
the companies Pacific Gas And Electric Company (PG&E),
Southern California Edison and SDGE. The Fig. 1 shows a
schedule of the time of delivery factor employed by PG&E
during 2016. This schedule was planned to improve the
capacity deliverability. This aim justifies a factor of more than
2 along the August until October between 4 pm to 10 pm. This
schedule and scaling factors procedure must results in a mean
cost over the year close to the unit. This is one of the
restrictions of the problem that must be treating.

Another restriction to be imposed is the number of periods,
which a year could be divided, and the minimum duration of
each period. E.g.: the maximum number of periods in a year
must be 3 and its durations shouldn’t be less than 3 months.
The same restriction is imposed to a day axis. There must be
defined the maximum number of periods and its minimum
duration. E.g.: a day can have up to 4 periods with a minimum
duration of 4 hours each. In addition, The Time of Delivery
factors must be enclosed in the some minimum and maximum
interval, e.g.: [0.7 1.3].
Based on those restrictions and with the objective of
increase the returns of the generation power plant an objective
function could be established as:
M N
   wij gij
i 1 j 1
where  is the value of the objective function;
in the i-th month and in the j-th time of day;
generation at i-th month and in the j-th time of day; M is the
number of months and N is the number times employed in the
discretization of a day. Typically, values to N are 12 and to M
are 24. The total number of factors to be estimated by the
algorithm is equal to N times M. When typical values are
adopted, the number of factors are 288. The optimization
algorithm should operate receiving g ij and estimate wij that
maximize  with subject to the restrictions presented early.
B. Codifications of the feasible solutions
Each candidate solutions must be capable to represent the
time of delivery schedule and factors. This representation
must be design in such way that improved the restriction
checking and the objective function calculus. If those desired
aspects are achieved the computational performance of the
optimization algorithm could be improved.
So, each candidate solution is coding in a structure
2.2
composed by:
2  strPer: A scalar indicating the month of the year
where the first period starts;
1.8
 durPer: A vector of duration of each period. The
1.6 number of elements in this vector is equal to the
maximum periods desired. The sum of its elements
1.4 must be equal to M (12 if the discretization of a year is
done in months);
1.2
 str: A vector indicating the start hour of each period.
1 The start hour informs the starting of first factor along
a day;
0.8
 cro: A matrix N x M where each element coding the
multiply factor;
 dur: A matrix N x M where each element coding the
duration of each factor. The number of elements in this
vector is equal to the maximum different factors in a
day. The sum of its elements must be equal to N (24 if
the discretization of a day is done in hours).
The same pattern of the Time of Delivery schedule and
factor may have different representations. This is not results in
problems. The pattern presented in the Fig. 1 could be
represented by:
 strPer:4;
 durPer:[6 3 3];
 str:[7 7 7];
 cro:[0.6585 1.1941 0.9299; 0.8067
0.9569; 0.7741 1.1982 0.9399];
(1)  dur:[9 6 9; 9 6 9; 9 6 9].
C. Genetic algorithm to planning of the time of delivery
wij is factor schedule and factor
g ij is the Based on the characteristic of the problem, an approach
based on Genetic Algorithms was adopted. Each generation is
constituted by the evolutionary loop. The evolutionary loop is
composed by a Crossing, Mutation, Evaluation and Natural
Selection operators. The loop is repeated until there is no
change in the fittest individual for a number of generations.
The crossing operator operates only on the factor vector, since
operating over the duration vector of each flag could incur
transgression of the daily duration (24 hours). Parents are
chosen by means of the roulette wheel algorithm in order to
favor the survival of the fittest individuals. From each crossing
two children are generated, and the mutation operator acts on
all the parameters that define the individual as describe in the
Subsection II.B.
 The individuals and the parameters that will be mutated factors must be enclosed between 0.7 and 1.3. The optimized
are chosen at random way. The mutation of the vectors occurs Time of Delivery Schedule and Factor achieve an increase
by permutation between the chosen elements, and the mutated around of 4.78% in the price of energy generated. The Fig. 4

 As can be seen by the Fig. 9 the maximum power
observed is lower than the nominal. Therefore, the power of
the energy storage system is overestimated. In fact, there is an
optimum relation between power and energy of a storage
system. This relation depends on the generation profile and
could be estimated by the optimum operation estimated by
the algorithm. Considering the generation profile of the Fig. 8
the optimum relation between the power and the energy can
expressed as done in the Fig. 11.

V. CONCLUSIONS
This paper presented an evolutionary algorithm that could
help in the Time of Delivery Schedule and Factor
optimization. Another contribution is the modeling the
operation of an energy storage system as an optimization
problem that could be solved by applying the SQP method.
With the results is possible dimensioning the best relation
between power and storage capability of the storage system.
This entire process could be repeated every time when the
generation profile change. As the battery based storage
systems has a modular architecture it is possible time to time
