Abstract (EN): Large-scale integration of renewable resources for power generation is a propitious mode to mitigate the impact of human activities in order to reach an environmentally and sustainable way of life. However, uncontrollability and variability of renewable resources is an important barrier that could be overcome by incorporating energy storage systems (ESSs). Among ESSs technologies, Vanadium Redox Battery (VRB) is a promising technology able to be incorporated in isolated and insular power systems with limited geographical conditions and high natural resources, thus increasing the system framework flexibility. Under this context, development of a proper strategy to control VRB in daily scheduling of insular systems, considering charge controller operation and VRB dynamic behavior, is a necessity. Hence, this paper presents an optimization model based on cycle charging strategy capable to include these features. The proposed approach is illustrated by analyzing two systems, obtaining a reduction on generating costs between 1.35% and 25.3% depending on system characteristics, wind power profile, and its penetration level.
