Integrating renewable energy resources into electrical distribution networks necessitates using battery storage systems (BESSs) to manage intermittent generation, enhance grid reliability, and prevent reverse power flow. Thus, this study focuses on the optimal sizing of BESS in networks, considering, cost, environmental impact. The adapted network research has a 25 MVA/33 kV capacity with 7 MWp photovoltaic plants. variability sources ampacity limitations are analyzed first. After that, linear optimization approach is applied minimize system's cost subject specific grid's reliability. In addition life cycle assessment that evaluates impacts different technologies used evaluate options BESSs. Results indicate integrating an optimally sized significantly improves reduces deficits, lowers operational costs. Moreover, impact reveals Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries most environmentally friendly option due their high moderate efficiency. concludes size for 120 Ah/33 kV, loss load probability 1% annual savings $0.367 million.
