    To address the planning challenges of integrating energy storage into distribution networks, this paper proposes an optimal configuration method for energy storage in distribution networks aimed at enhancing power supply capability. Firstly, a total supply capability (TSC) curve model for distribution networks with integrated energy storage is introduced, which effectively represents the comprehensive power supply capability of distribution networks. Based on the TSC curve, the critical component is identified. Secondly, an optimal configuration method for energy storage with three phases is proposed to enhance the TSC curve: i) Identify the critical component; ii) Develop a preliminary configuration scheme for energy storage integration into the distribution network based on the critical component; iii) Determine the optimal energy storage configuration to improve the TSC curve. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the IEEE 33-node case. The proposed method can effectively determine the optimal configuration for energy storage integration, significantly enhancing the complete power supply capability of the distribution network. This paper provides guidance on energy storage configuration in distribution networks, contributing to the efficient and low-carbon operation of the system.
