Abstract

This paper deals with the new services that can be provided by distributed energy storage systems to enhance distribution planning and operation, such as intentional islanding. Although energy storage technologies offer interesting features, they still remain capital-intensive and raise cost-competitiveness issues: they usually cannot be made profitable considering only a single revenue stream. That is why it seems necessary to contemplate the possible services of energy storage not only for distribution system operators, but for some other stakeholders of the electricity value chain as well. In the last part, a new approach to the combination of storage benefits is introduced and its use within the framework of this project is briefly discussed.
