This paper proposes a bi-objective optimization model for optimal siting and sizing of an energy storage
system (ESS) in a microgrid in the presence of demand response program (DRP). The proposed biobjective optimization model includes two different objective functions: 1) minimization of total investment cost as well as operation cost 2) minimization of loss of load expectation (LOLE). In order to
solve the proposed bi-objective optimization model, ε-constraint method is utilized and the best solution
among the obtained solutions is determined by fuzzy satisfying technique. Also, DRP is employed to
reduce total cost of microgrid. DRP flattens load curve by shifting some percentage of load from peak
periods to off-peak periods. Optimal siting and sizing problem of ESS in the microgrid is modeled by a
mixed-integer non-linear program (MINLP) and solved by GAMS software. A sample system is analyzed
and the obtained results are compared.
