Optimal energy distribution and storage in a wind-based renewable electricity supply chain %K Renewable Energies %K electricity supply chain %K operational planning %K electricity storage %R %X Nowadays, utilization of renewable energies for satisfying electricity demand has received more interest, and renewable electricity generation has been growing in the world. This study addresses the operational planning of a renewable electricity supply chain over a multi-period planning horizon. The purpose of this study is to maximize total profit and to optimize the operational decisions related to power transmission and storage in a wind-based electricity supply chain. The applicability of the developed model is demonstrated by a case study. Due to the wind intermittency and demand variations, some probable scenarios are considered. Sensitivity analysis provides several managerial insights. Numerical results indicate that line capacity expansion can make a good promotion in each scenario by reducing unmet demand and making more profit. Moreover, incorporating an electricity storage system in wind farms improves demand covering in peak load hours. %U https://www.jise.ir/article_46799_e26d610ebeee3d4f3fe9436750879ac5.pdf
