Battery Energy Storage Systems Course for Grid Ancillary Services

This battery management system course examines the rationale used for sizing battery storage systems for grid ancillary services in order to solve power quality problems and improve power system stability. It gives an overview of the motivation, methods, and best practices for the early steps followed to determine the suitability of a BESS for a given ancillary service. As such, the BESS course provides one of the many tools that are used to evaluate and optimise the use and location of BESS.
