    As the penetration level of renewable energy is continuously growing, it is essential for transmission and distribution system operators to collaborate on optimizing the siting and sizing of distributed energy storage to enhance the operational flexibility and economic efficiency. Given the frequent occurrence of extreme weather in recent years, the planning should also account for such factors. Hence, a planning method of distributed energy storage considering extreme weather with the coordination of transmission and distribution systems is proposed. Firstly, a Gaussian mixture modelbased chance constraint is established to describe the uncertainty of wind and solar power, ensuring high confidence that the bus voltage of the distribution system is within a safe range. Secondly, aiming to maximize the social welfare, a bi-level planning model for distributed energy storage is developed. The upper-level addresses the siting and sizing issues of distributed energy storage, while the lower-level characterizes the day-ahead clearing problem of power market. By leveraging Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions and linearization techniques, the bi-level model is transformed into a single-level mixed integer linear programming model that is easier to solve. Finally, numerical analysis is conducted on a modified IEEE 24-node system combined with two IEEE 33-node systems. The case study verifies the effectiveness of the proposed model.
