Aggregation of residential Energy Storage Systems

This paper presents a technical and economic feasibility study of a virtual energy storage system (VESS) consisting of 1400 residential users with a photovoltaic system and a battery energy storage system (BESS). A control strategy was developed and applied to find out how much energy the VESS can provide for network services. The results show that by aggregating hundreds of residential users with a BESS, there is sufficient power and energy margin to provide network services that ensure behind-the-meter services such as self-consumption functionality. The results of the feasibility study are quite promising: supposing that 100% of offers are accepted, the revenues are between EUR 0.55 million and EUR 2.29 million, depending on the proportion of offers accepted.

The results show that by aggregating hundreds of residential users with a BESS, there is sufficient power and energy margin to provide network services that ensure behind-the-meter services such as self-consumption functionality. The results of the feasibility study are quite promising: the VESS is capable of providing up to 49 MWh of grid services, both up and down, over the course of the day.
