To address the challenges of voltage deviation and increased network losses arising from the high integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems in distribution networks, this paper proposes a bi-level optimisation model for configuring distributed energy storage systems (ESS) tailored to high-penetration PV distribution networks. In the proposed model, the upper-level operational layer minimises voltage deviation and network losses to improve voltage quality and reduce power losses, while the lower-l
