Unlocking the Potential of Value Stacking in Norwegian Distributions Systems
Challenge and objective
- While BESS are becoming more viable due to cost reductions. Optimizing BESS for a single grid service often underutilizes its potential, reducing profitability and increasing idle time.
- The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and profitability of using BESS for multiple grid services (value stacking) like energy arbitrage and voltage regulation in Norwegian distribution systems.
Work performed
- Developed algorithms for energy arbitrage and voltage regulation.
- Simulated service value stacking in a distribution grid model.
- Conducted case studies to evaluate the methods and profitability.
Significant results
- Service stacking increased profitability, especially with optimization methods. Voltage regulation boosted overall profits.
- MPC and linear optimization outperformed the rule-based approach.
Impact for distribution system innovation
- Improved grid flexibility and stability through multi-service BESS usage.
- Higher profitability for distributed energy resources.
- Better integration of renewables with enhanced voltage regulation.
