Course details

This course examines the rationale used for sizing battery storage systems (BESS) for grid ancillary services in order to solve power quality problems. 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, it provides one of the many tools that are used to evaluate and optimise the use and location of BESS.

This course focuses on:

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) sizing for ancillary services
BESS economics in ancillary services
BESS performance

Receive a reminder one week before the registration deadline.

After completing this course, you should be able to:

explain why Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) providing ancillary services can reduce the need for the thermal must-run power station fraction;
identify the relevant factors used to size a BESS for ancillary services;
apply basic methodology for an optimal sizing of BESS; and
extract relevant information from the sizing to evaluate a BESS business case.

This course is suitable for:

project developers seeking insights into the fundamental principles of planning and sizing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for use in ancillary services to mitigate power quality issues;
grid operators aiming to acquire a comprehensive understanding of BESS suitability for specific ancillary services; or
academics interested in exploring the principles and practical considerations related to BESS sizing.

Testimonials

"The course material was clear, and the concepts and methodologies of initial sizing of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) were easy to understand. The way the course is made helps you expand your thinking and opens new ways of assessing the preliminary sizing for BESS for ancillary services. It was a good experience, and I am willing to take more courses at RENAC."

Mohammed Ahmed Mohammed Abdelaziz Omara, Battery Energy Storage Systems for Grid Ancillary Services, 2022

"It was indeed a very learning and fruitful experience. This was my first time taking a RENAC course. The content of the course was well structured for anyone with no previous background of the subject matter to comprehend. The video discussions made things easier to understand. The questions in the Self-test were well prepared and made the concepts clearer. Overall, I liked the course and the regular interactions with the RENAC team were helpful. Look forward to more such courses."

Himangka Kaushik, Battery Energy Storage Systems for Grid Ancillary Services, 2020

"Excellent. Course was really very informative with stipulated time periods, questionnaire & management."
