Abstract
Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are gaining potential recognition in modern power systems. They enable higher renewable shares in power networks by overcoming issues introduced by the intermittent nature of renewable resources. BESSs also provide various grid services such as frequency regulation, voltage support, energy management, and black start. Choosing an appropriate BESS location plays a key role in maximizing benefits from its services. This paper aims at investigating BESS placement for providing grid services at the point of installation. The previous studies extended in this direction have not considered the requirements of a real project under which BESS is being deployed and have mainly proposed solutions for standard IEEE bus systems. Also, the focus has not been on providing ancillary services using BESS, but mainly on loss minimization. This paper, on the other hand, presents a case study on the BESS placement problem by investigating various potential locations in Bornholm Island for fulfilling the objectives of a BESS-related industrial project, namely BOSS. This is achieved by considering factors like stackability of BESS-services, integration of large-scale renewable resources, and viability of business models.
