This article assesses the costs and benefits of incorporating battery energy storage systems (BESS) in transmission network expansion planning (TEP) over multiple time periods. We propose a mixed-integer programming model (MIP) for joint planning of the installation of battery energy storage systems (BESS) and construction of new transmission lines in multiple periods of time. The mathematical formulation of the presented model is based on the strategies of the agents of a transmission network to maximize their benefit, and on the operational restrictions of the power flows in transmission networks. This analysis is performed for the Garver 6 node test system takes into account the power losses in the lines and the restrictions for the energy stored in BESS. The power flows obtained with the MIP model are compared with AC power flows generated with specialized software for flows in power systems. This allows us to demonstrate the potential of models based on DC power flows to achieve approximate results applicable to the behavior and characteristics of real transmission networks. The results show that the BESS increase the net profit in the transmission networks and reduce their power losses.
