Battery storage

Piloting the use of "free capacity" of large battery systems for ancillary services (EFLEX project)

Year

2020–2023

Client

Technologická agentura ČR (TAČR)

Cooperation

In cooperation with ČEPS, E.ON energie, ČEZ, PREdistribuce, Solar Global service, Škoda Auto

LEEF role

The LEEF is responsible for the overall coordination of the project, participates in testing, and supervises the preparation of the content and format of deliverables in each phase of the project.

The aim of the project is to examine the usability of battery systems “free capacity” for the provision of ancillary services. The subject of research is battery systems that are primarily installed for a purpose other than providing ancillary services (eg for peak-shaving in fast charging of electric vehicles, or load-shifting PV). This project is co-financed with the state support of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic within the Theta Program.

⚪︎ Business analysis of ČEPS (TSO) requirements and an assessment of how battery systems can meet these
⚪︎ Technical analysis of SW requirements
⚪︎ SW development and testing
⚪︎ Tests of possibilities of using free capacity and their evaluation
⚪︎ Specification of rules for the use of free battery capacity for ancillary services
