Multi-Use Operation of Aggregated Battery Energy Storage Systems

This paper introduces a multi-use operation algorithm for aggregated battery energy storage systems (BESSs). The primary focus of this research is to coordinate dispatches for small and medium-scale BESSs in multi-use applications. The coordination involves dynamically allocating power for various single-use applications, leading to time-based conflicts. To address these challenges, a receding horizon control algorithm, ensuring effective management and coordination of the BESSs, is proposed. Additionally, an information architecture to support the implementation, connecting stakeholders and behind-the-meter assets, is designed. The conceptual model is evaluated, and through a case study, findings are validated. The results presented in this paper prove the dynamic stacking of four applications, maximizing BESS utilization.
