Optimal Sizing Tool for Batteries Providing Multiple Services to the System

A tool is formulated and implemented for the optimal economic and technical sizing of a battery-based electrochemical storage system that simultaneously provides multiple services to the electricity system, as well as participating in the Day-Ahead Market and reducing the imbalances of a renewable source system.

This work presents a tool for the optimal economic and technical sizing of a battery electrochemical storage system (BESS, or SdA) that provides multiple services simultaneously to the electricity system. The services considered may include: provision of primary frequency regulation; provision of secondary frequency regulation; provision of tertiary frequency regulation; reduction of imbalances of a renewable source generator ‘coupled’ to the BESS. Participation in the energy market (Day Ahead Market) is also considered. The tool is implemented as a linear programming mathematical model in which all regulatory obligations relating to the services considered are included as constraints. The tool was used to evaluate the difference, in terms of cost effectiveness, between installing a BESS in the NORD market area and in the FOGN market area of the Italian Electricity System.
